Uniflex Femoral Nail | | | General Information | |
| Vendor | | Biomet Orthopedics, Inc | | Item | | Uniflex Femoral Nail | | Features | | The longitudinal slot compresses during insertion making the nail more “forgiving” and requiring overreaming of only 1-1.5 mm
The yield strength of titanium alloy is twice that of stainless steel and its ultimate tensile strength is almost 25% higher
Two proximal reconstructive screw holes are placed at a 125° neck/shaft angle and anteverted left and right 9° to accommodate the anteversion of the femoral neck. Distal screw holes are positioned to capture fragments close to the femoral condyles.
Much stronger than stainless steel, self-tapping titanium screws allow for easy insertion and increased strength and are available in 9 lengths.
Uniflex Nails are left and right bowed and are available in diameters from 10 mm to 16 mm and lengths from 32 cm to 48 cm.
Reamed or unreamed, the Uniflex Nail addresses a wide range of femoral fractures with one system. | | Approval | | FDA | | Product Number | | Inquire | | Materials | | Titanium Alloy | | Nail Specs | | 14 mm proximal nail diameter (10-14 mm diameter)
3 mm proximal wall thickness for strength in reconstructive mode.
2 mm distal wall thickness provides low bending stiffness for ease of insertion
Round, highly polished outer profile devoid of steps or ridges for easier insertion and extraction.
Available in diameters of 10-16 mm in lengths of 32-48 cm
Two proximal screw holes at 125° and anteverted 9° to the plane of the anterior bow of the nail.

| | Product Description | |
| The design philosophy of the Uniflex® Nailing System was to develop a single system that could be used for the widest possible variety of femoral fractures. Based on a closed interlocking intramedullary rod, the system takes full advantage of our better understanding of the biology of fracture healing combined with modern materials and biomechanical design principles. Primary requirements of the system were that the number of instruments should be kept to a minimum and that they should be simple to use and to minimize the number of implants necessary for a complete size inventory. | |
