NanoPhix™ Cannulated Lag Screw Procedures

The NanoPhix™ Cannulated Lag Screw can be used in the following procedures:

Fragment-Specific Fractures (Carpal/Metacarpal) (Carpal / Metacarpal), Fragment-Specific Fractures (Phalanges/Thumb) (Phalanges / Thumb)

Comprehensive System

The system consists of 21 implants from 6–26 mm in 1 mm increments, 2 dual-diameter guide wires, a depth gauge with a countersink tip, and a 1/16” hex driver. Implants and instruments come sterile packed.

  • NanoPhix major and minor diameter: 1.5 mm/1.2 mm

  • NanoPhix head diameter: 2.5 mm

  • Guide wire length and diameters: (trailing) 75 mm length x .6 mm dia. and (leading) 106 mm length x 1.3 mm dia.

Specifically sized for small fracture fragments to facilitate early, active mobilization for accelerated healing and faster return to daily activities.
Cannulated, 1.5 mm diameter design allows simple and precise fixation of small fracture fragments such as avulsion and condylar fractures.
