Not all TEN products are equal.
Not all TEN products are equal. The features behind the implant determine the outcome for the patient.
SUPERIOR TITANIUM ALLOY
High biocompatibility means the body accepts the implant without immune reaction. Corrosion resistant for long-term structural integrity inside the body. Excellent elasticity and strength for balanced fixation across the full healing cycle. MRI compatible for safe post-operative diagnostic imaging without artefact interference. The material is not just a specification. It is the foundation of everything the nail does.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUE
Smaller incisions reduce soft tissue damage at the surgical site. Lower infection risk compared to open procedures. Faster patient rehabilitation because the surrounding tissue is preserved. Less postoperative pain and improved cosmetic results, critically important in paediatric patients where scarring has a long-term psychological and emotional impact.
ELASTIC STABILITY
Balanced fixation provides controlled micromotion at the fracture site. That micromotion is not a weakness. It is a biological trigger. It promotes callus formation, stimulates bone healing, and allows the fracture to heal rapidly and reliably. The nail maintains fracture alignment throughout the entire healing process without eliminating the motion the biology needs to complete its work.
SMOOTH INSERTION AND REMOVAL
A polished surface finish allows for easier surgical handling during insertion. The simplified extraction procedure reduces operative time at removal. For the surgeon this means a more predictable procedure from start to finish with fewer intraoperative frustrations and more consistent outcomes.
MULTIPLE SIZES AVAILABLE
A wide range of diameters and lengths – from 1.5mm to 3.5mm – ensures the right size is available for every patient anatomy and every indication. Paediatric patients vary significantly in size and bone dimensions. A comprehensive size range is not optional. It is essential for delivering individualised care to every child.
Every feature is a clinical decision. Not a commercial one. 🦴
