TRIGEN™ Hindfoot Fusion Nail

The TRIGEN Hindfoot Fusion Nail (HFN) brings the simplified instrumentation of the TRIGEN NAIL SYSTEM to the hindfoot, featuring an oblique locking configuration that allows surgeons to maximize thread purchase by locking into better bone. One of its key advantages is to allow surgeons to target screws through the calcaneus and into specific bones to attain the most stable construct, while simultaneously gaining fusion between the calcaneus and surrounding bones. Fusion is further aided by allowing screws to cross the articulating surfaces of the calcaneus and talus, as well as the calcaneus and cuboid bones.

• Offers simplified instrumentation and anatomically designed implants.

• Diverging screw angles allow the surgeon to target specific bones and joints.

• Distal threaded screw holes help to reduce risk of screw back out while adding stability.

• Internal hex captured locking screws help to ease screw insertion.

• Rotational stability achieved with proximal static locking hole or dynamic compression slot.

• Dynamic compression slot allows up to 5mm of late controlled compression.

• 16 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm nail lengths

• 10mm and 11.5mm nail diameters

TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME™

The TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME (TSF) is an external device for limb correction, lengthening and/or straightening, based on the ILIZAROV Method, and gives the surgeon the ability to accurately move bones to their precise anatomic alignment. Its six telescopic struts can be independently lengthened or shortened relative to the rest of the frame, allowing for six different axes of movement (anterior/posterior, varus/valgus, lengthen/shorten). This gives the TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME the ability to correct even the most difficult congenital deformities5 and trauma cases, providing treatment for a variety of skeletal fractures, malunions, and nonunions.

• Provides a single solution for correcting the most challenging cases.

• Takes advantage of the body’s natural ability to grow healthy new bone tissue.

• Unlike ORIF, the TAYLOR SPATIAL FRAME system allows for postoperative fracture reduction and alignment correction.6

• Circular construct allows near immediate weight bearing, accelerating fracture healing and increasing bone strength.7

• Using fixed angled pins in multiple planes offers optimized stability, while minimizing soft tissue damage.8, 9

We have a dedicated web application that makes planning for cases and correction areas easier. Visit www.spatialframe.com to see a video demonstration.

ILIZAROV™ External Fixator

For nearly 60 years, the ILIZAROVTM method has produced excellent postoperative results in the treatment of foot deformities and ankle fractures.1 The ILIZAROV External Fixator system provides a minimally invasive treatment solution by requiring fewer incisions, saving valuable OR time and contributing to improved patient outcomes.2

• Provides greater stability to internal fixation.3

• Enables almost immediate weight bearing.

• Rocker Ring protects the bottom of the foot and provides increased patient comfort.

• Pre-assembled frame constructs speed procedures and saves valuable OR time,4 while still providing adjustability.

• One-tray system with removable Mayo Stand caddy and organized compartments simplifies foot and ankle procedures, providing easy access to hardware.

Jet-X™ External Fixation System

Compared to common clamshell designs, the JET-X External Fixation System bar is 175 times more likely to stay in its clamp while you are reducing a fracture. Your days (and nights) of tightening/ loosening/retightening are over.1

You have the freedom to use the frame to manipulate the fracture before final tightening. The integrity of the cartridge mechanism allows the pin or bar to be captured in the clamp. The clamp, in turn, remains free to rotate and angulate. This allows the frame to perform double duty as a fixation device and as a reduction tool.
