A bone nail driver is a surgical tool used during orthopedic procedures to precisely insert intramedullary nails into bone shafts, stabilizing fractures or correcting deformities. These devices apply controlled force to drive the nail into the medullary canal, ensuring proper alignment and fixation during procedures like femoral or tibial nailing.
These instruments are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel or titanium, and are designed for single-use per patient to maintain sterility. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards, with requirements for manufacturing, sterility, and performance testing.
