Veterinary AO Elastic Nail

Veterinary AO Elastic Nail VH010 is an elastic intramedullary nail range for professional small-animal orthopedic fracture fixation. The product table identifies stainless steel as the nail material and lists seven diameter options from 1.2 mm to 4.0 mm. Small and large cap options are also shown to support the planned management of the nail end, subject to the current product documentation and surgical technique.

Clear size selection: The VH010 nail range includes VH01012, VH01015, VH01020, VH01025, VH01030, VH01035, and VH01040. These models correspond to 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.0 mm diameters. The product table also lists VH010S as Cap small and VH010L as Cap large. The surgeon should select the nail diameter and cap configuration after reviewing the patient's imaging, bone size, fracture morphology, and fixation plan.

Veterinary orthopedic applications: Elastic intramedullary nails may be considered for selected small-animal fracture fixation procedures, particularly where a flexible intramedullary construct is clinically appropriate. Veterinary literature describes elastic nailing techniques in young dogs for selected long-bone fractures, while patient age, bone geometry, fracture location, and implant configuration influence the outcome. The Veterinary AO Elastic Nail should be used only by a trained veterinary orthopedic professional and as part of a complete fixation and postoperative management plan.

Procedure-focused support: An elastic nail is not a universal substitute for plates, screws, external fixation, or other implants. The required number of nails, diameter, insertion route, nail contouring, end management, and any additional fixation must be determined by the surgeon. Please confirm the nail length, cross-section, cap dimensions, stainless-steel grade, packaging, sterilization instructions, and regulatory documentation before ordering or clinical use.
