Expert Tibial Nail System (ETNS)
The Expert Tibial Nail System (ETNS) is an intramedullary nailing system which covers the indications of the PTN and of the UTN/CTN, plus more distal and more proximal indications. Additional to the standard static and dynamic locking options, the ETNS features multi directional locking options in the distal and proximal part of the nail. The ETNS has a 10 bent (8 plus 2) which eases nail insertion and extraction, and gives the nail a better anatomic position in the intramedullary canal. The Expert Tibial Nail System features cannulated nails in six different diameters from 8 mm to 13 mm and solid nails in three different diameters from 8 mm to 10 mm. Both are available in 15 lengths from 255 mm to 465 mm. All nails will be offered unsterile and sterile. The open instruments have been modified and feature a 12 mm Cutter, Straight Awl and Drill.
The End Caps have a long tip to help guide the End Cap into the top of the nail, making it easier to insert. Furthermore, the End Caps have a lead-in design so when inserted, the End Cap automatically aligns with the top of the nail. The End Caps are cannulated for use over a guide wire. Available lengths are 0, 5, 10, and 15 mm.
