Stryker released its Gamma4 Hip Fracture Nailing System in most European markets. Gamma4 is designed to treat hip and femur fractures and streamline procedural workflows for surgeons.
Used in over 25,000 cases in North America and Japan, the Gamma4 System is indicated for the treatment of fractures in the intracapsular, trochanteric, subtrochanteric and shaft regions of the femur (including osteoporotic and osteopenic bone).
Key features include:
- A redefined nail design. Designed using the SOMA database of over 34,000 3D bone models generated from CT scans, Gamma4 has a chamfered distal tip, a 5mm shorter proximal body compared to Gamma3, and a length-dependent radius of curvature for long nails.
- Improved workflow. The Precision Pin offers more resistance to pull out, and the potential for skiving is reduced by 66% compared to a standard ∅3.2 K-wire.
- Integrated instrument platform. Gamma4 and T2Alpha nails now all work on the same instrument platform, standardizing surgical procedures.
“The Gamma4 system represents the latest chapter of the Gamma legacy, and we are excited to expand availability to our European customers after a successful launch in the U.S.,” said Markus Ochs, Vice President and General Manager of Stryker’s European Trauma & Extremities division. “This latest system demonstrates our commitment to working together with our customers to understand their needs. With evolved features to the trusted Gamma system, we believe the system will help our customers rebuild patient lives.”
