Electrical intramedullary nail system

摘要

The marking nail has a coil arrangement which in a proximal end cap arrangement (2) which is releasably connected to the nail body (12) is provided with an outer contact surface which is at least partially electrically conductive. The contact surface is electrically insulated from the nail body. At least one section of the contact surface forms a first electrode (16), and at least one section of the nail body forms a second electrode (18). The end cap arrangement forms an electrically conductive end cap housing (22), the surface of which forms the contact surface. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a nail body for use with a marking nail system; and (2) an end cap arrangement for use with a marking nail system.
