The TOOLMED INTERTAN Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is a specialized surgical system engineered specifically for the management of proximal femoral and trochanteric fractures using the advanced INTERTAN technique. This set is distinguished by its ability to facilitate the insertion of two integrated screws—a large lag screw and a secondary compression screw—to provide active linear compression and rotational stability. The kit includes high-precision, heavy-duty targeting jigs that ensure the perfect alignment of the dual-screw construct within the femoral head. It features specialized "one-step" reamers, ergonomic high-torque inserters, and sophisticated depth measurement tools designed for the unique geometry of the INTERTAN nail. Manufactured from medical-grade 17-4PH stainless steel and radiolucent carbon fiber, the system provides exceptional durability and clear intraoperative visualization. Housed in a modular, double-decker sterilization tray, the TOOLMED INTERTAN Instrument Set is the premier solution for surgeons treating complex geriatric hip fractures where preventing "cut-out" and rotational collapse is critical.

Product Description
The set features a specialized jig designed to precisely align two screws in an integrated fashion, providing superior resistance to the "Z-effect" common in traditional hip nails.
Includes dedicated drivers that allow the surgeon to apply active mechanical compression across the fracture line, reducing the gap and promoting early bone healing.
Constructed with high-strength carbon fiber targeting arms to ensure a clear, unobstructed fluoroscopic view of the femoral neck during dual-screw placement.
Equipped with reinforced inserter handles that provide the mechanical leverage required to advance the nail into dense bone while maintaining perfect alignment with the jig.
The set is primarily indicated for AO/OTA 31-A2 and A3 fractures, where the dual-screw system provides the rotational stability needed to prevent varus collapse.
Specifically indicated for fractures extending into the subtrochanteric zone, utilizing the set's long nail options and precise distal targeting instrumentation.
Indicated for geriatric patients with poor bone quality; the set’s ability to provide integrated compression is the preferred application to reduce the risk of hardware "cut-out."
Contains the specialized extraction and re-reaming tools indicated for revision cases where a previous single-screw nail or plate system has failed.

The INTERTAN Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is an advanced orthopedic system designed for the surgical stabilization of proximal femoral fractures using a dual-screw integrated mechanism. This set provides the essential tools to implement a technique where two screws work in tandem to provide both rotational stability and active linear compression. It functions as the comprehensive interface for the surgeon, containing all necessary components from the trochanteric entry awl to the final dual-screw locking drivers. Manufactured from medical-grade 17-4PH stainless steel and radiolucent carbon fiber, the set ensures the extreme precision required to align two distinct screws through a single nail, creating a unified construct that resists the complex mechanical forces of the hip joint.
This instrument set is primarily applied in the surgical treatment of unstable trochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures (AO 31-A2/A3). It is the preferred application for high-energy trauma in young patients and osteoporotic hip fractures in the elderly, where standard single-screw nails may be prone to failure. The set is also applied in subtrochanteric fractures, particularly those with proximal extension, utilizing its precise distal targeting tools. In clinical practice, the set is utilized on a traction table to maintain fracture reduction while the radiolucent jigs are applied to guide the integrated screws into the femoral head. Its specialized compression tools make it an essential application for surgeons aiming to achieve anatomical closure of the fracture gap during the procedure.
The primary advantage of the TOOLMED INTERTAN Instrument Set is its superior rotational stability and the prevention of the "Z-effect." By facilitating the placement of two integrated screws, the set provides a significant advantage over single-screw systems by locking the femoral head more securely. The radiolucent carbon-fiber targeting jig is another major advantage, providing a clear X-ray view of the femoral neck without metal interference. The set’s active compression driver allows the surgeon to mechanically reduce the fracture intraoperatively, which is a major advantage for promoting early bone union. Additionally, the high-precision reamers and ergonomic inserters reduce surgical time and ensure a consistent, reproducible technique for every trauma case.
Biomechanically, the instrument set ensures the creation of a "fixed-angle" construct that is uniquely resistant to rotation and varus collapse. The targeting jigs are precisely calibrated to place the dual screws in the strongest available bone within the femoral head. The tools facilitate the "integrated" nature of the screws, where the secondary screw provides compression and acts as a rotational lock for the primary lag screw. This biomechanical design maximizes the pull-out strength and load-sharing capabilities of the nail. By enabling precise canal preparation and screw placement, the instruments ensure that the construct can withstand the massive mechanical loads of the lower limb during the patient’s initial weight-bearing and rehabilitation phases.
The surgical technique begins with establishing an entry point at the greater trochanter using the set's cannulated awl. After preparing the medullary canal with the flexible reamers, the INTERTAN nail is mounted to the inserter and advanced into position. The carbon-fiber targeting jig is attached, and guide wires are placed into the femoral neck for the dual screws. Using the set's specialized combined reamer, the paths for both screws are prepared in a single step. The primary lag screw is inserted, followed by the integrated compression screw. The set's compression driver is then used to tighten the construct, drawing the fracture fragments together. Finally, distal locking is performed using the jig, and the end cap is secured with the dedicated driver.
Postoperative care for the instrument set involves a strict protocol of manual and mechanical cleaning followed by high-temperature sterilization. After each surgery, all instruments must be disassembled; the dual-screw targeting sleeves and compression drivers require meticulous cleaning with specialized wire brushes and ultrasonic processing to remove all biological debris. All components are then sterilized in a steam autoclave at 134°C. For the facility, it is critical to perform regular calibration checks on the radiolucent targeting jigs and to inspect the wear on the combined reamer heads. Proper maintenance ensures that the set's high-precision tolerances are preserved, guaranteeing surgical accuracy for future complex trochanteric reconstruction cases.
The TOOLMED INTERTAN Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is an indispensable tool for the management of the most challenging proximal femoral fractures. By providing the precision required for dual integrated screw fixation and active compression, this system ensures that surgeons can achieve maximum stability and anatomical results, leading to improved functional outcomes and faster recovery for patients with complex hip trauma.
