Colorado Flexible Nails

Categories: Intramedullary Nails

The biomechanical principle of the COLORADO™ Flexible Nailing System is based on the symmetrical bracing action of two flexible nails inserted into the metaphysis, each of which bears against the inner bone at three points. This produces the following four biomechanical properties: flexural stability, axial stability, translational stability and rotational stability. All four are essential for achieving optimal results.

  • Minimal invasive technique and biomechanical stability allow early functional exercise.
  • Flexibility allows nail to be easily inserted while avoiding disruption of the bone growth plate
  • The End Cap is inserted over the external portion of the flexible nail and threaded into the cortical bone in an oblique orientation. This is to prevent nail migration and soft tissue irritation
  • Nails are color coded for easy identification.
  • Product-specific instrumentation simplifies insertion and removal of nails.
