LBN – proximal humerus nail
Locking Blade Nail
Locking Blade Nail with patented blade support
Intramedullary nail osteosynthesis of the proximal humerus
The triangle of forces between nail and blade makes the LBN system from Marquardt Medizintechnik unique. The Locking Blade Nail stabilizes with an additional blade support on the medial column of the humeral head. The blade is also a support for the calotte fragment during abduction.
Secure fixation of humeral fractures
Flexible concept
The nail can be used with or without an additional blade. An integrated screw lock made of PEEK fixes the screw in the nail.
LBN Locking Head Screw
Provide a secure hold in the humeral head, even without blade.
PEEK Insert
Provides secure fixation of the screws in the nail.
LBN Blade Fixation Screw
Holds the blade in place over the lateral cortex and nail, creating a force triangle.
Distal Nail Diameter
Tapering of the nail at the distal end for easier insertion of the nail in tight medullary canals.
Anterior chamfer
Conforms to shape of humeral head and prevents from ventro- cranial nail protrusion.
LBN Blade / Force Triangle
Stability is achieved with the blade supporting the medial column. The blade is also a support for the calotte fragment during abduction.
Modular Washer
The modular washer provides a secure, form-fit force transmission to the cortex. This ensures pressure-distributed fixation of the fragments and an additional option of refixation of the rotator cuff.
Material
Titanium, anodization type II
