Spiral blade devices are implantable, screw-like tools designed to stabilize fractured bone segments, particularly in the upper femur or humerus. They work alongside fixation plates or intramedullary nails to secure bone fragments during healing, reducing the need for excessive bone removal during surgery.
These devices are typically made from durable, non-degradable metals like titanium or surgical steel and are regulated as surgical implants. They are supplied sterile and intended for single-use in orthopedic procedures, with classification and availability varying by jurisdiction.
