Benefits
Efficient

The instrument cases are designed in a simple, step-wise, colour-coded layout for ease of use and reproducible procedures for surgeons and OR staff. Instrumentation cases are also designed modularly to provide space and inventory efficiencies to the hospital. Cases include intraoperative options including entry portals, reduction tools, and colour-coded screw instrumentation placement. 

Extensive

Created with acute fixation options for many challenging fracture patterns, the AFFIXUS Natural Nail System was designed with two implant options for humeral fractures in both antegrade and retrograde surgical approaches. 

Advanced

The AFFIXUS Natural Nail Proximal Humeral Implant showcases the proprietary CoreLock technology, integrating a fixed-angle interlocking mechanism into the nail, allowing the user to lock all metaphyseal screws in the construct at a fixed angle at once.

Features

Integrates a fixed-angle interlocking mechanism into the nail, allowing the user to lock all metaphyseal screws in the construct at a fixed angle at once.

Proximal Humerus and Antegrade/Retrograde Targeting Guide

The targeting guides offer reduction and screw positioning assistance, with specific pin cannulas and locations for fragment targeting and rotational stability.

Multiple Screw Options

The nail implants specifically, were designed with multiple screw options positioned in multi-planar axis, including; AP, ML oblique and ascending/descending angles, which allow surgeons the ability to use a minimally-invasive approach in even the most complex humeral fractures. The system also includes optimal blunt tip screws and washers for more precise applications, if desired.
