PEEK Nail Slap Hammer The Impact PEEK Union Nail System is indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses or bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g. rigid fixation implants, cast, brace). The Impact PEEK Union Nail System contains 3.0mm - 4.5mm diameter, 50mm long pins manufactured from HA Enhanced PEEK (ASTM F2026). The implants are designed with strategically placed ridges to improve initial stability and cannulated structure to simplify insertion over a k-wire. Additionally, it was designed to include tantalum pins to ensure optimal imaging visibility for device placement accuracy.
A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed for the surgical insertion and/or extraction of a non-tissue based (inorganic) orthopaedic implant (e.g., a bone nail, spiral blade, or bone fixation plate). It is an instrument in a one-piece or modular configuration with a region that will attach/fit/lock to part of the implant, and typically features either a mechanism to apply a striking force (e.g., on a pad/flange) a mechanism for twisting (screwing) (e.g., T-handle), or a plunger mechanism to deploy a guide to drive the implant into place. This is a reusable device.
