Key Features

Precision-Engineered Surgical Instruments

Each instrument in this set is manufactured for reliable performance in elastic stable intramedullary nailing procedures, a widely used technique for treating diaphyseal fractures in small animal patients.

Sterilisation-Ready Aluminium Case

The perforated blue-lidded aluminium box allows steam and gas sterilisation to penetrate the tray, keeping the full instrument set surgery-ready between uses.

Complete ESIN Procedure Coverage

From bone preparation (AWL, drill bits) to nail placement (nail inserter, hammer, hammer guider) and final adjustment (benders, cutters, locking pliers), this kit supports the entire elastic nailing workflow.

Clinical Use Cases

This instrument set is intended for veterinary professionals performing:

• Elastic stable intramedullary nailing of femoral, tibial, humeral, or radial fractures
• Long bone diaphyseal fracture stabilisation in small to medium-sized dogs and cats
• Minimally invasive fracture fixation requiring nail contouring and controlled insertion
• Post-surgical nail removal and revision procedures

How the Instruments Work Together

Step 1: Bone Access and Preparation

The AWL and drill bits (φ2.7mm, φ3.2mm, φ4.5mm) create the entry point and medullary canal pathway, guided by the double drill sleeve for accuracy.

Step 2: Nail Insertion

The elastic nail inserter, hammer, and hammer guider work together to advance the pre-bent nail through the medullary canal under controlled force.

Step 3: Contouring and Adjustment

The benders shape the nail to match bone curvature, while the standard tamps seat the nail correctly within the canal.

Step 4: Finishing and Fixation

The cutters trim excess nail length, the locking pliers stabilise components during handling, and the end cup inserters (small and large) finalise nail-end protection.
