Product Overview
Building on the success of the original Polarus and Polarus Plus Nail, the Polarus 3 Solution incorporates existing nail and instrumentation features such as radiolucent targeting guides, tapered profiles, and axillary nerve avoidance in addition to several new features:
The nails feature a 4 degree lateral bend and are left/right specific (proximal nail only) to fit patient anatomy. The Proximal Nail is 150 mm long. The Long Nail ranges from 150 mm to 280 mm.
• Polarus 3 nail screw patterns are designed to avoid the axillary nerve.
• Nail insertion point is designed to minimize rotator cuff disruption.
• Fully cannulated nails and instrumentation allow use of a guide wire to ease installation.
• Nails feature a tapered tip to minimize stress risers.
• Radiolucent targeting guides provided to facilitate insertion of proximal screws (Long Nail) and proximal and distal screws (Proximal Nail).
• Long nails feature a slotted hole in the AP view for additional reduction options.
• Pre-assembled PEEK insert to create proximal locking screw friction.
• Cannulas are designed to lock and unlock for stability within the targeting guide.
• Instrumentation is included for removal, and an end cap is included to help prevent bony in-growth.
