Titanium Elastic Nails (TEN) Pair

Our Titanium Elastic Nails (TEN)—designed as a matching pair for Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) techniques—are highly advanced, flexible fixation implants engineered primarily for the minimally invasive treatment of long-bone diaphyseal fractures in pediatric patients and small-stature adults. To achieve proper biomechanical stability, these rods are utilized in pairs to create a symmetric three-point fixation construct. This load-sharing alignment maintains anatomical bone reduction, resists rotational forces, and permits early post-operative mobilization to accelerate natural callus formation.

Precision-crafted from premium, biocompatible Grade 5 Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), this pair of elastic nails offers an ideal balance of high elasticity, mechanical tensile strength, and structural memory. Each nail is engineered with a specially angled, rounded bevel insertion tip that facilitates smooth, effortless tracking along the internal cortical walls of the medullary canal without risk of accidental perforation. Additionally, the outer surfaces undergo an electrochemical anodization treatment (yielding distinct color-coding by diameter), which provides superior corrosion resistance and allows for immediate intraoperative sizing identification.

Key Features & Benefits

• Symmetric Three-Point Fixation: Engineered to work in pairs, providing equalized opposing forces inside the medullary canal to block fracture displacement and control rotational stability.

• Optimal Structural Elasticity: High-flexibility titanium alloy allows the nails to bend elastically during insertion and exert a continuous, stable counter-force against the inner bone cortex to lock fractures rigidly in place.

• Atraumatic Angled Bevel Tips: The smoothly rounded, bent tips skid effortlessly over internal bone structures, preventing iatrogenic cortical piercing or jamming during driving phases.

• Color-Coded Sizing System: Type-II anodized protective surface treatment creates an instant, distinct color-by-diameter correlation (e.g., blue, green, gold) to streamline surgical workflow and prevent selection errors.

• Minimally Invasive Entry Design: Engineered for insertion through small, extra-articular entry portals well away from the epiphyseal growth plates, safeguarding pediatric growth centers from damage.

• Unrivaled Biocompatibility: Elite medical titanium configuration reduces soft-tissue irritation, completely eliminates nickel-allergy risks, and facilitates smooth atraumatic hardware retrieval post-healing.
