Synthes 357.511 130° Insertion Handle – Orthopedic Driver for Proximal Femoral Nailing

The Synthes 357.511 Insertion Handle is a high-precision orthopedic instrument engineered for the accurate placement and alignment of intramedullary implants. Featuring a fixed 130-degree angle, this handle is specifically designed to facilitate unobstructed access to challenging anatomical structures, particularly during proximal femoral nailing and hip fracture fixation procedures.

The 130° geometry is optimized to match standard patient anatomy, providing the surgeon with a stable mechanical interface to drive and orient the nail within the femoral canal. Its ergonomic, lightweight construction significantly reduces hand fatigue during long cases, while the textured grip ensures a secure, non-slip hold—even in the demanding conditions of a trauma operating room.
