Description

Kuentscher Extraction Instrument Complete

The Kuentscher extraction instrument is a complete, 64 cm assembly for removing intramedullary nails. It hooks the nail and draws it out with controlled force.

Nail removal

Intramedullary nails sometimes need removal after healing or for revision. Therefore a dedicated extractor grips the nail and pulls it out. Besides, that protects the bone from damage.

Complete instrument

The assembly measures 64 cm. For the parts list, simply ask; we will send it before you order.

Who uses the Kuentscher extraction instrument

Removal of femoral and tibial nails is its job. Teams preparing a revision use it too. Hospitals with older nails in their patients still need it.

Technique

Engage the hook in the nail, then apply controlled pulling force. Watch progress with fluoroscopy. Pause if resistance seems unusual.

Spare parts

Hooks and handles are also sold separately. Consequently, worn parts can be replaced. Moreover, that extends the life of the set.
