Product Overview
The SL Targeting Guide allows for targeting different patient anatomy and preparing the carpals for screw insertion. The guide is mostly radiolucent to not obstruct the visibility of the carpals during fluoroscopy. The only metal components are the Scaphoid Needle and the Elevator Screw, which are both positioned on the radial side of the wrist until the K-wire has been inserted across the SL interval.
• Targeting Wing: Designed to hold the Soft Tissue Protector Cannula in place in order for the Scaphoid Needle to target the location of guide wire insertion.
• Elevator Screw: Allows adjustment of Targeting Wing to line up with the lateral position of the scaphoid for future 0.045" guide wire insertion
• Scaphoid Needle: Aids in preventing the 0.045" guide wire from skiving off the scaphoid during insertion and in both the PA and lateral view shows the projection of the guide wire path.
• Soft Tissue Protector Cannula: Designed with a flat side feature to be used with the Targeting Wing to target the scaphoid and lunate for 0.045" guide wire placement. When the correct trajectory is located, it is locked into place by turning it clockwise.
• Dorsal Plate: Stabilizes the SL Targeting Guide construct for potential movement during fluoroscopy imaging as well as aid in maintaining placement of the lunate joystick guide wire.
• Joystick Clip: Aids in anatomical reduction of the scaphoid and lunate by holding the lunate and scaphoid joystick guide wires in reduced position.
