Part # 360-2240 Exp 5/19
The Osteomed 360-2240 Inter-Phalangeal Rod is a stemmed flexible implant specifically designed for replacement of metatarso-phalangeal joints of the lesser toes. The indication for use is a semi-rigid or rigid hammertoe deformity, impaired function and stability, metatarsal pain
The Osteomed Interflex IPG System consists of silicon implants of two measures, containing milling machines and single use tester devices for II, III, IV and V metatarso-phalangeal joint arthroplasty.
The indications for this implant are: rigid or semirigid hammertoe deformity with luxation or sub-luxation of the metatarso-phalangeal joints, stability and functionality of compromised metatarso-phalangeal joints, impaired length ratio of the hallux.
Contraindications for the use of these implants are suspected or active infections, immunocompromised patients, lack of adequate skin coverage, insufficient bone quality to support the implants, patients with previous allergic reaction to silicon.
Implants are not projected for excessive functional stress, which could accelerate wearing out and
hence their failure.
The surgical incision is longitudinal on the dorsum directly above the joint to be operated, deepened by cleavage of tendons and dorsal veins.
Subsequently executing longitudinal capsulotomy, sawing and extracting the metatarsal head and the base of the first phalange, preparing medullar canals with the milling machine included in the surgical kit, using a gauge to insert the appropriate spacer and finally placing the silicon implant which can further be modified shortening, if necessary, the stem.
In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
There is a $125 minimum order due to the cost of shipping.
