Children are naturally wired to explore their world and their personal limits. In doing so, no tree may seem too high, no jump too deep and no play too rough. Whatever happens, you can rely

on Hofer’s paediatric products to step up to the plate in the surgical treatment of paediatric trauma, but also in dealing with developmental chest deformities.

Treatment options

Hofer’s elastic sliding nail portfolio is indicated for the intramedullary treatment of long bone shaft fractures in children and adolescents with open epiphyseal plates, as well as upper extremity shaft fractures in adults. When used in paediatric lower extremity fractures, a weight limit of 50Kg is to be respected.

The stability of the fixation reaches its peak when the nails are used in pre-bent pairs, creating a triple intramedullary cortical contact (fracture zone as well as proximal and distal metaphyses).

Main features and benefits
Large selection of colour-coded diameters in the portfolio, with matching locking HSN plugs to lock the protruding nail end at the insertion site for improved fracture stabilization and to prevent soft tissue irritation
The improved design of the nail tip hook facilitates the insertion of the nail and at the same time reduces the pressure on the contact surface between the nail tip and the inner cortical wall to prevent protrusion of the nail during insertion
Improved instruments for both nail insertion and nail extraction

Treatment options

Hofer developed this system for the minimally invasive surgical correction of pectus excavatum, an adolescent developmental deformity of the chest that can lead to various physical and/or psychological complaints or symptoms. The system is designed to correspond to the proven Nuss technique, also known as the MIRPE procedure.

Main features and benefits
A flat rod design with rounded edges and an integrated stabilizing wing, which can be adapted to the patient's individual anatomy along the entire length of the rod, simplify the procedure and minimize damage to the intercostal soft tissue
The integrated stabilization wing in combination with the possibility of placing several rods without direct contact minimizes the postoperative release of metal ions
An optional stabilization splint for the contralateral side can be added to protect the intercostal soft tissues
