OrthoXel new pioneers in trauma fixation systems launch the Apex Tibial Nailing System with FDA and CE Mark Approval.
Why choose the Apex Tibial Nailing System? Exceptionally Engineered Multiple Locking Options!
- Unique Micromotion
A patented gliding insert system allows up to 1 mm of controlled axial motion with two mediolateral proximal screws, while simultaneously controlling torsion to create a biomechanically optimal construct for secondary bone healing.
- Gold Standard Dynamization
Dynamization with the gliding insert allows axial fracture compression when needed, with unparalleled torsional stability and establishes a new standard for stable dynamization.
- Ultimate Rigidity
Addition of a locking endcap simultaneously locks up to four proximal screws for ultimate rigidity when needed.
Innovative Range of Locking Options: The innovative range of proximal locking options delivered by the Apex Tibial Nailing System will ensure your patients are getting the best choice in fracture fixation.
Unique Micromotion Fixation: Micromotion fixation enables controlled axial movement with enhanced torsional stability providing ideal conditions for callus formation. Research has indicated that this type of movement may help contribute towards accelerated healing.
Ultimate Rigidity: The rigid locking function means all proximal bone screws can be clamped simultaneously, to create a fully rigid construct, when needed.
Gold Standard Dynamization: Axial compression with unique built-in torsional stability.
Cross Locking: A function that comes as standard with all intramedullary nails and the Apex Tibial Nailing System is no exception.
Apex Tibial Nailing System:
- Full range of nail lengths and diameters to suit all patients.
- Anatomical bend for ease of insertion.
- Distal locking with up to three screws (two ML, one AP)
- Standard bone screws in 4.5 and 5 mm diameters.
- Locking endcaps can be added to simultaneously clamp all proximal screws.
- Flush endcap (0 mm) and extension endcaps (5 to 15 mm) also available.
- German-manufactured, type II anodized titanium for superior corrosion resistance.
- Sterile individually packaged product with Unique Device Identifier (UDI).
Never Heard of Us? Who we are….
OrthoXel is a highly specialised orthopaedic trauma device team based in Cork, Ireland currently focusing on the development and introduction of new innovatively designed and engineered tibial and femoral intramedullary nails. Our first device, the Apex Tibial Nailing System, is now approved to market in the USA and CE marked for Europe. The Apex Femoral Nailing System approvals are underway with approvals expected later this year.
