MalletThe 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 to strike a surface or another device (e.g., a surgical chisel, gouge, driver) to drive it during a surgical intervention. It is available in a variety of designs and materials; the shaft is typically made of metal (e.g., chromed iron (Fe) or high-grade stainless steel), but can be made of synthetic materials (e.g., Tufnol), and tapers distally to the head. The head is typically a solid, cylindrical shape normally being double-ended and made of solid (iron/steel) or shock-absorbing materials (e.g., rubber, plastic, or Tufnol). Also referred to as a surgical hammer it may also be used for autopsy. This is a reusable device.
