An instrumentation system () and an intramedullary femoral nail system () for antegrade or retrograde implantation with laterally inserted bone screws, the system comprising a nail stem () having a multi-featured proximal end (), a distal end and a central conduit () configured to accommodate a fastener (), wherein the multi-featured proximal end () comprises a plurality of holes () configured to accommodate at least two bone screws (), wherein the first bone screw () is at an angle that is horizontal relative to the central conduit () and is on a coronal plane, and the second bone screw () is at an angle of between 120&#xb0; to 130&#xb0; relative to the central conduit ().

Femoral nail and instrumentation system

An intramedullary nail system () comprising a nail stem () having a multi-featured proximal end (), a distal end () and a central conduit () configured to accommodate a fastener () having a proximal end (), a distal end () and a central shaft (), wherein the fastener () comprises a stop () extending laterally from the proximal end () relative to a vertical axis of the fastener () and which is configured to matingly engage with an internal wall () of the multi-featured proximal end () to provide control over rotational and distal movement of the system () when secured with a bone screw.

Intramedullary nail system

A device for delivering an occlusive element includes an elongate sheath having a lumen therein. An elongate core member is disposed within the lumen and is formed from a proximal portion and distal portion connected via a joint. The distal portion of the elongate member includes a severable junction secured to the occlusive element. A marker coil is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and is partially disposed inside the sheath lumen. A coil member is coaxially arranged around the distal portion of the elongate core member and coaxially arranged around at least a portion of the marker coil extending outside the lumen of the sheath. The coil member is secured at a distal end thereof to the distal portion of the elongate core member. The device resists axial compression while allowing for radial bending.

An intramedullary nail has a proximal part for engagement with a proximal bone fragment and a distal part for engagement with a distal bone fragment. A motion assembly interconnects the parts and allows limited axial relative motion of the proximal and distal parts. This limited axial motion provides micromotion and in some embodiments also dynamization. The nail may comprise a stem for fastening to one bone fragment and an insert within the stem for fastening to the other bone fragment, the insert being adapted to guide insertion of a bone screw through the stem and to prevent relative rotation of the distal and proximal bone fragments. The motion assembly may include spring bias and/or damping means between the parts, possibly including one or more Belleville washers.
