The Guichet Nail Version 2 is our safest and strongest nail to date.
The Version 3 allows 3D correction of bones and retrograde nailing of femur’
With the Guichet Nail secure protocols the gain progresses safely and fast. Patients can resume all activities when the bone is formed.
A very low risk of rupture or malfunction of the nail (1.5%)
Weight bearing and possibility to do gentle sports, including bike, elliptical and stepper. Do not perform any sports without your doctor's consent.
45-47 mm of gain in the first month authorising normal range of motion, with an average gain of 68 mm. Maximal gain possible of 16 cm through repeated surgeries using specific nails.
Short hospital stay (Daycare or one night)
Smaller skin incisions, thanks to the instrumentation
Guichet Nail Patients
The nail is made of two sliding tubes. After transverse osteotomy of the bone and fixation of the nail in each bone extremity, alternate rotation of one tube with respect to the other authorizes lengthening of the system through repeated go-and-forth rotations.
Guichet Nail Patients
The nail is made of the toughest material available for medical use allowing a controlled full vertical weight-bearing from the day of surgery (Post Operative Day 0). It cannot allow unlimited full weight-bearing and sports. Long-level arms are to be prevented, but if under control and indicated by your surgeon, elliptical and stepper can be possible.
Guichet Nail Patients
Gentle sports like bike are allowed according to surgeon's recommendations after patient’s evaluation.
Guichet Nail Patients
Your surgeon will provide you information about training and early resuming of daily activities including sports (Stepper, Elliptical). Impact or contact sports are not allowed until bone fusion.
The Guichet® Nail System can be used in femurs and tibias. It offers :
> Walking, biking, stairs from the day of surgery
> Upon completion of the lengthening, normal life is gradually and fully resumed. Full sports are resumed upon full bone fusion.
Specific protocols from surgery to post-operative patient care have been designed to allow a safe gain controlled by the patient himself, under the supervision and according to tailor-made program provided by Surgeons. Clicks can be performed in full autonomy with no need for electrically powered appliances.
