Reducing Radiation

Challenge:  Radiation Exposure

TRIGEN SURESHOT* Distal Targeting System

Achieve perfect circles without the use of radiation. Real-time video feedback ensures the proper screw orientation relative to the distal interlocking holes.

 

Accuracy:
Distal locking was 100% successful on 50 procedures using the TRIGEN SURESHOT System.1

Reduced time:
Distal locking time was reduced by an average of 48% compared to the standard X-ray technique.1

Reduced radiation:
Regarding radiation emission, fluoroscopy time was reduced by an average of 31 seconds which is the equivalent to approximately 0.663 rad.1

Increasing Efficiency

Challenge:  Instrument Efficiency

One base instrument tray for all lower extremity long bones that allows the OR staff to make short work of long bone fractures.

 TRIGEN IM base instrument tray

Specialized Instruments

1. Reducer

Curved tip directs the guide rod past the fracture site.

 

 

2. Captured Screw Hexdriver

Internal threading allows the hexdriver to rest just inside the screw head to ensure positive contact and prevent screw loss. 

 Captured screw for TRIGEN IM Nails

3. Honeycomb

Choose and fine-tune a starting position without constant removal of guide pins.

Tibial Fractures

Challenge:  Tibial Fractures

TRIGEN META-Nail Tibial

Enhanced Fixation
Dedicated Instruments for blocking screws and extension nailing

Enhanced Fixation

 TRIGEN IM Enchanced fixation

Dedicated Instruments

 

Blocking screws

 Blocking screws

Nailing in extension

Reduced flexion leads to less pull from the quadriceps muscle, helping to avoid fracture malreductions and malalignment.

Nailing in extension

 

58% of proximal tibia fractures were malaligned3
