The CurvaFix Low Profile Implant is an implantable intramedullary device for pelvic fracture fixation. The devices have a threaded, self-tapping distal end and a driving torque interface at the proximal end. An integral shape lock feature changes the CurvaFix Implant from a flexible to rigid state after implantation. The CurvaFix Implant can be returned to a flexible state should device explant be required. Supplied individually on a backer card in a sterile barrier package placed in shelf carton. The device is manufactured from Stainless Steel.
A small, threaded, non-bioabsorbable, implantable rod intended for internal orthopaedic fixation by being screwed into a limb bone, rib, the sternum and/or pelvis to hold a plate, nail, rod or prosthesis to the bone, or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of a fractured bone; it is not intended to be introduced through the sleeve of a femoral neck fixation plate/sleeve, not used in dentistry/orthodontics, craniofacial or spinal bones, and not dedicated to intramedullary fixation/arthrodesis. It is typically of cortical or cancellous design and has a drive (e.g., slot, cross, star, polygonal) at its proximal end for introduction with a screwdriver.
