iMET
Concept

By inserting iMET in an interlocking nail and place them into a Tibia (or femur) bone, the light emitted from iMET is projected onto the bone surface as a bright red spot indicating the location of the screw hole.

The Advantage of iMET

Accuracy & Precision

Based on a number of animal and human tibia/femur bone fracture interlocking nailing operations, no fluoroscopic guidance was required for the distal screw hole fixation. No repetitive drilling nor re-insertion of the screw was needed.

Minimize Radiation Exposure

iMET does not use fluoroscopy for distal screw hole fixation, thus significantly reduce radiation hazards, especially for doctors and nursing staff who conduct such procedures on a regular basis.

Saving Surgery Time

With iMET, the average time required to complete the placing of one distal interlocking screw was shorter than what have been reported (ranging from 16.7 to 19.1 min) when using other types of TADs (Tip Apex Distance) [1]

Visible Guiding Light

iMET uses a visible light source to indicate the position of the distal interlocking screw holes
