The development of the Biorigid Femur™ System is based on the idea of an integrated concept for implants and instruments. Building on the basic intramedullary nail, additional modules guarantee application in a wide range of indications. This makes it possible to react to unforeseen and complicated indications during the operation. The system is built on a hierarchy of trays and comes with a standard set of complementary instruments. Their ergonomic design provides the surgeon with the greatest possible operating convenience. The Biorigide Nail™ Femur is an unreamed intramedullary nail that is locked into the medullary cavity via central drill holes and a unique system of grooves. The stability of this design of interlocking grooves has been tried and tested for years, and the nail provides above-average safety from implant failure. The nail is made from a titanium alloy (TiAl6V4), a non-allergenic, biocompatible material that guarantees extreme stability. A distal runner helps to ensure an operation that is gentle on the patient. Its anatomical curvature means that the Biorigid Nail Femur is perfectly adapted to the bone's natural condition.

Universal application

The same nail can be used to treat fractures of both the left and right femur. In addition to insertion of the implant from the hip, problem-free retrograde access from the knee using the same set of instruments is available as standard.

Adjustability

Nail length is adjustable within a range of 150 to 480 mm. What is more, it can be further adjusted even after implantation by means of additional 10mm and 20mm extension caps. The nail design permits the unique hybrid locking system via central drill hole and grooves. Locking can be made dynamic by means of the elongated hole on the proximal end of the nail.

Distal interlocking

The CondyLock™ module permits what is probably the most distal locking of femur fractures. This enlarges the window of indications for the Biorigid Nail™ Femur even to fractures extremely close to the condyle. A detachable X-ray-free targeting device ensures problem-free assembly of this add-on component.
