Designed to help restore the shape of the fractured bone

OverviewSystem FeaturesSpecificationsBenefitsEducationVideosAdditional Information

Anatomically designed to replicate natural anatomy

The Zimmer Natural Nail System is the next generation of intramedullary nails. They are characterized by their anatomic shape, which is intended to replicate the natural anatomic shape of the various long bones in the human skeleton. These nails have been designed for specific applications to help surgeons restore the shape of the fractured bone to its natural, pre-injured state.

Anatomy

  • Hip & Femur
  • Tibia

Product Type

  • Intramedullary Nailing

System Features

The Zimmer Natural Nail System is made up of short and long nails in a variety of diameters and lengths to accommodate varying patient anatomy. 

Enhanced Fixation

The system includes locking tabs that interlock the nail to the screws.

Anatomic Fit 

The configuration of each nail’s shape and dimensions allow it to be used in very specific applications to closely replicate the pre-injury state of the fractured bone.

Bows in femoral nails correspond to nail lengths, reflecting the anterior femoral bow relative to patient height. 

The fluted design moderates stiffness and is designed to facilitate easy nail placement. 

Nail tips are designed to help the passage of the nail through the medullary canal.  

The system includes both left and right versions available for antegrade femur and cephalomedullary nails.

Intuitive Instrumentation

Instrumentation is designed around consistency and accuracy. The specific color-coding system for each nail type, instrument size, as well as drill and screw diameter make the system easy to use. This paired with the ergonomic designed handles offers control during implant placement. 

Specifications

Cephalomedullary Nails

-Dynamic and static distal screw options designed to maintain length and alignment during healing

-Femoral head lag screw provides proximal fixation while controlling bone segments

-Spiral or straight flutes to moderate stiffness and help facilitate insertion

-Monobloc guide for three CCD angles (125°, 130°, 135°)
