Gamma A4

HIP FRACTURE SYSTEMS

HIP FRACTURE SYSTEMSThe latest development in the continuing evolution ofthe Gamma Locking Nail family designed for rapid andsecure fixation of unstable intertrochanteric andpertrochanteric fracturesProduct specifications• Only one length of 180mm• Only one distal diameter of 11mm• Only one distal locking screw• Lateral bend of 4°Features & Benefits• Anatomical design• High strength Orthinox alloy• Patented lag screw stabilisation system (see below details’Sliding effect’)• Clinically proven single lag screw design• Early weight bearing through superior strength and stability• Lower risk of cut out versus two lag screw design• Reduced trauma through closed operating technique• Low blood loss, low level of wound problems and low riskof infection• Great synergies with Long Gamma used forSub Trochanteric fracturesNew Kit Packaging = SterileNail and Set Screw packedin one box, gammairradiated• Reduces inventory(one box instead of two)• Saves costs• The Kits are gammairradiated whereas the soloimplants were steamsterilized• Only two packaging boxsizes are used for all naillengths, providing an optimalstorage management.All long nails are packed inthe same-size box (527mm)and short nails are packed ina smaller box (374mm)Sliding effectUnique and patented! The Gamma NailSystem has been designed to promotedynamic compression by allowingthe Lag Screw to slide in a lateraldirection only. Simultaneously the SetScrew is protecting the Lag Screw againstrotation and prevents medial migration.This is a unique function of the GammaLocking Nail System.Plug ScrewSet Screw(red outline)The Groove (green line)is not of equal depthover its entire length,allowing the sliding ofthe lag screw in onedirection only.REF NO.
