Conmed SmartNail (96L/4D) PLA, 1.5mm O.D. x 20mm L 531520
The SmartNail 1.5 mm O.D. × 20 mm L (Cat. No. 531520) is a bioresorbable fixation nail made from PLA for small-fragment or osteochondral lesion repair. It features a 1.5 mm outer diameter and a length of 20 mm, suited to non-load-bearing bone applications. Supplied sterile and intended for single-use insertion in arthroscopic or open surgical procedures.
This SmartNail implant is engineered to provide early mechanical stability during fragment healing while progressively resorbing to avoid the need for hardware removal. Its self-reinforced 96L/4D PLA copolymer material delivers strong initial fixation performance in non-load-bearing bone repair settings. The 1.5 mm diameter and 20 mm length combination is optimized for minimally invasive fixation of small osteochondral or bone fragment defects. Using a low-profile headed design, this implant enables straightforward insertion and compression across the repair site, supporting efficient surgical workflow and patient comfort.
