Polarus Locking Humeral Rod

Basic Information

Polarus is a cannulated intramedullary humeral rod that features a tapered profile with a patented spiral array of proximal screws. Multi-planar fixation acts as a scaffold, restoring the proper anatomic alignment of the humerus through a percutaneous approach.

Key Features

The Polarus Locking Humeral Rod System is contained in a comprehensive, well organized tray with all of the instruments needed to implant the rod. Calibrated drills ensure proper screw sizing and eliminate extra surgical steps. Straightforward assembly of the targeting guide saves frustration and valuable O.R. time.

Indications

The Polarus Locking Humeral Rod provides excellent fixation for 2-, 3-, and some 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. A minimally invasive surgical technique and straightforward, accurate targeting procedure minimizes O.R. time- a benefit for both the patient and the surgeon.
