A variety of screw-in-place drill guides are available to support many drill bit diameters. One single hole drill guide of your choice is included with the purchase of the IMEX™ Universal Aiming Device.

Toggle Pins
Toggle Pins for Hip LuxationThree diameters are available for repair of coxofemoral luxations. The cross hole sizes are compatible with most commonly used sizes of monofilament suture material. Depending on the size of suture used, the required drill bit may be approximately the same size as the toggle pin or up to 1-2 millimeters larger (to allow for large suture.) The blunt end of a suture passer can be used to assist with final passage of the toggle pin through the acetabular wall. Implant quality 316LVM stainless steel.

IMEX Polypropylene Suture ButtonsPolypropylene Suture Buttons
Part No. 55100
These two-hole suture buttons are used at the lateral femur to simplify suture tie-off when performing the toggle pin method of coxofemoral reduction. Approximately 6.5mm x 14mm. 2.0mm hole diameters can accommodate virtually all large suture materials. Check for availability of pre-sterilized version - Part No. 55100S.

 


Suture Passer
Part No. 55000
IMEX Suture PasserSimilar to a large sewing needle with an eye, this suture passer is designed to be a very economical method of pulling suture down the femoral neck. The passer diameter is 3.2mm. With suture included, it is often necessary to utilize a 3.5mm or larger pilot hole. This instrument is most useful when utilizing soft-pliable suture material, while hard nylon leader is usually pushed through the femoral hole by hand. The blunt end is also utilized to “pop” the toggle pin through the acetabular component.
