Conmed SmartNail (96L/4D) PLA, 1.5mm Outer Diameter (O.D.) x 16mm L 531516
The SmartNail (96L/4D) PLA 1.5 mm O.D. × 16 mm L (Cat. No. 531516) is a resorbable bone-fixation nail designed for fragment or osteochondral lesion repair in non-load bearing bones. It uses a proprietary self-reinforced PLA copolymer and features a 1.5 mm outer diameter with a length of 16 mm. Supplied sterile and intended for single-use insertion as part of arthroscopic or open surgical fixation.
This SmartNail is engineered to provide strong, temporary fixation of small bone fragments or osteochondral lesions while the body’s healing process progresses—eliminating the need for hardware removal. Its self-reinforced 96L/4D PLA copolymer material offers high initial mechanical strength and stiffness for resorbable implants. The low-profile round flat head design provides compression across the defect, while distal barb features increase pull-out resistance compared to smooth pins. With sizes down to 1.5 mm diameter, this implant supports minimally invasive fixation in anatomically tight areas and complements the surgical technique for arthroscopic‐ready fragment repair.
