Intended Use

Telegraph® Humeral nail with locking screws is intended to be used for proximal and/or diaphyseal fractures of the humerus.

Device Story

Telegraph® Humeral Nail is an intramedullary fixation rod for proximal and/or diaphyseal humeral fractures. Device consists of stainless steel (ISO 5832/1) nail available in 150 mm (short) or 210-310 mm (long) lengths, with 7, 8, and 9 mm diameters. Features three proximal and two distal holes for 4.0 mm diameter fully-threaded screws for cancellous bone fixation. Distal holes allow for locking. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone fragments, facilitating fracture healing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed according to ASTM F-1264 (Standard Specification and Test Methods for Intramedullary Rods). Verification and validation activities were conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Stainless steel (ISO 5832/1). Design: Intramedullary nail with proximal and distal holes for 4.0 mm locking screws. Dimensions: 7, 8, 9 mm diameters; 150-310 mm lengths. Mechanical testing: ASTM F-1264.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with proximal and/or diaphyseal fractures of the humerus.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

| Device description: | The Telegraph® Humeral nail is designated to be inserted in the<br>proximal extremity of the humerus. It is constructed from stainless steel<br>(ISO 5832/1), length 150 mm for the short humeral nail or 210 to 310<br>mm length for the long humeral nail, all models are available in three<br>diameters : 7, 8 and 9 mm. It has three proximal and two distal holes for<br>4.0 mm diameter, fully-threaded screws suitable for cancellous fixation<br>of small bone fragments.<br>The two distal holes can if necessary be used for locking. But its<br>advantages result mainly from the possibilities afforded by the tree<br>proximal screwholes. |
