High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Versatile Femoral Fracture Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Intramedullary Femoral Nail by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) is engineered to address a wide range of femoral shaft and supracondylar fractures. Manufactured from high-purity titanium, this intramedullary nail leverages a streamlined geometry and robust locking options—aiming for stable fixation, minimal soft tissue disruption, and optimized healing across varied fracture patterns.
Intramedullary Stability
Designed for insertion into the femoral canal, providing central support for shaft, mid-shaft, and certain distal femur fractures.
Compared to extramedullary devices (plates), intramedullary fixation can reduce soft tissue dissection, potentially enhancing recovery.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
Constructed from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI), combining superior strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Minimizes risk of allergic reactions and fosters a stable environment for bone healing.
Anatomical Nail Design
Slight curvature aligns with femoral anatomy, reducing stress at insertion points and along the canal.
Low-profile proximal and distal geometry to limit trochanteric or distal femur impingement.
Locking Versatility
Multiple proximal and distal interlocking screw holes accommodate static or dynamic fixation, depending on fracture type and clinical objectives.
Optional oblique or transverse distal hole alignment for specialized fracture patterns (e.g., distal third of the femur).
Clinical Indications
Femoral shaft fractures (simple, comminuted, segmental), subtrochanteric extensions, certain distal femur fractures (if nail length and design permit).
Osteotomy or nonunion revision where intramedullary support is preferable.
Contraindications
Active systemic or local infection, inadequate femoral canal diameter, or severe deformities preventing intramedullary device insertion.
Patient conditions or comorbidities (e.g., advanced osteoporosis, compromised vasculature) may warrant alternative fixation strategies.
