Apex & Vertex Nails
by OrthoXel
OrthoXel is a specialist orthopaedic trauma company dedicated to advancing the future of fracture fixation with its orthopaedic trauma portfolio. Their mission is to improve patient outcomes and transform trauma healthcare. Their Apex intramedullary nails, for fracture of the tibia (shin bone) and femur (thigh bone) are the first and only nails with controlled axial micromotion to facilitate accelerated healing for all patients.
Working with leading US & Irish surgeons OrthoXel has complemented the Apex range with the Vertex Hip Fracture Nailing System (Vertex HFN). The Vertex HFN is a novel intramedullary nailing system specifically designed to solve the key issues associated with the treatment of hip fractures.
Orthoxel's products are currently being used in Ireland and USA.
