CarboFix Orthopedics

Piccolo Composite® Plating & Intramedullary Nailing Systems

CarboFix nails and plates are made of continuous carbon fibers reinforced polymer, making the implants radiolucent. This allows superior fracture imaging, which is beneficial during surgery and follow up.

This composite material enables MRI & CT scan with no, or minimal artifacts for better soft tissue visualization, and enables radiation therapy with no backscatters.

All Piccolo Composite® plates and nails are supplied sterile
