Intended Use

Indications for the Piccolo Composite Tibial and Femoral Nails include simple fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting. The Piccolo Composite Tibial and Femoral Nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the long bones being treated.

Device Story

The Piccolo Composite Nailing System is an intramedullary fixation device for tibia and femur fractures. The system consists of a cannulated, cylindrical nail composed of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, paired with titanium-alloy interlocking screws and specialized insertion/extraction instrumentation. The nail features a pointed distal end and a threaded proximal end for instrument attachment. Used by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical or surgical setting, the device is implanted into the medullary canal to provide structural support and stabilization for bone fractures. The device functions as a mechanical fixation implant; it does not involve electronic processing, software, or AI. Clinical benefit is derived from the stabilization of long bone fractures, facilitating healing and reconstruction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance characteristics were evaluated per ASTM F 1264, including static 4-point bending, static torsion, and dynamic testing. Testing also supported MR Conditional labeling.

Technological Characteristics

Cannulated, cylindrical intramedullary nail made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Tibial nail: 9-11 mm diameter, 260-380 mm length. Femoral nail: 10-12 mm diameter, 300-420 mm length. Includes titanium-alloy interlocking screws. Mechanical fixation principle. Evaluated per ASTM F 1264.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring fixation of simple, comminuted, spiral, large oblique, or segmental fractures of the tibia and femur; also indicated for nonunions, malunions, polytrauma, prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures, and reconstruction following tumor resection/grafting. Applicable to fractures between the proximal and distal third of the long bones.

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.

## Intended Use/Indications for Use

## Piccolo Composite Tibial and Femoral Nails

Indications for the Piccolo Composite Tibial and Femoral Nails include simple fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonumions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting. The Piccolo Composite Tibial and Femoral Nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the long bones being treated.

## System Description

The Piccolo Composite Nailing System includes nails, interlocking screws and a set of instruments.

The Piccolo Composite Nail indicated for treatment of the tibia and femur is a cannulated, cylindrical rod, made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer. The tibial nail diameter ranges from 9 to 11 mm, with lengths in the range of 260 to 380 mm; the femoral nail diameter ranges from 10 to 12 mm, with lengths in the range of 300 to 420 mm. The nails provide for holes at the proximal and distal sections, designed for the insertion of titanium-alloy-made screws. The nail has a pointed distal end and incorporates a thread enabling connection of insertion/extraction instrumentation.
