SuperNail GT
Femoral Nail
SuperNail GT is an anatomic femoral nail engineered for the treatment of proximal fractures, ranging from pertrochanteric to diaphyseal extensions. Its design adapts to both left and right femurs, ensuring versatility across anatomical variations.
Type II anodic oxidation treatment to increase fatigue strength, reduce the coefficient of friction, and enhance osseointegration
Fluted distal tip streamlines insertion and reduces medial cortical stress while the lateral sliding cephalic screw enables fracture site compression
The proximal locking screw is designed to engage with one of the eight grooves on the cephalic screw, preventing rotation and migration
A hole for anti-rotation wire stabilises the femoral head during cephalic screw placement
