Dunitech Neon Proximal Femoral Intramedullary Nail Lag Screw Features

Neon Proximal Femoral Intramedullary Nail Lag Screw Features in Details

The internal fixation device should promote good rotational stability to allow for quick regeneration of the bone.

Fracture gaps or distractions are also important causes of nonunion.

To tackle these challenges, Dunitech’s Lag Screw utilizes the Claw Technology. It presents three times more rotational stability and a two-fold increase in compression when compared to conventional systems.

Four retractable Claws anchor the lag screw into the cortical bone of the femoral head-neck junction for superior control.

Rotational Stability

When deployed, the Claws’ span is more than twice the diameter of the lag screw alone. The engagement of the Claws within the cortical bone at the junction between the femoral head and neck leads to a three-time increase in the rotational resistance when compared to conventional screws.

Lag Screw Cut-out

Neon’s lag screw is equipped with Claw technology. The Claws anchor the Lag Screw into the cortical bone granting a stronger fixation, preventing relative movement, and reducing the risk of the cut-out.

Compression

Due to the increased purchase into the cortical bone, the lag screws present two times more compression forces than conventional screws.
