Product Overview

TELEGRAPH has a self-stabilizing locking feature for anterograde intramedullary nailing of the humerus.

The instrumentation is compact and the surgical technique reproducible.

Two versions:
– short nail for proximal humerus fractures
– long nail for mid-shaft fractures

Product Description
The TELEGRAPH is a device used for proximal and/or mid-shaft humeral fractures.

Because of its linear shape and small diameter, it can be implanted through the rotator cuff.

TELEGRAPH is available in short and long versions, in different diameters and lengths.

SHORT NAIL
This nail can be used with several techniques to treat 2- and 3-fragment fractures:
– percutaneous for extra-articular fractures
– standard for valgus-impacted intra-articular fractures
– optional for non-impacted or even dislocated 3- and 4-fragment fractures when a prosthesis is feasible

LONG NAIL
- Its primary diameter (7 mm) makes it one of the thinnest nails on the market.
- It has an assisted distal locking feature and can either be used in a static or elastic configuration. Its designing surgeons strongly recommend elastic distal locking.

Indications
– Intra-articular fracture
– 2- and 3-fragment extra-articular fracture
– Mid-shaft fracture
