“Cost – time and radiation reduction with nailing system – an innovative solution for distal locking” – Sanatmetal-EFORT webinar
We have much pleasure in informing our Partners that we are organising our first webinar with the above-mentioned title in a collaboration with EFORT (The European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology) which will take place from 12:30 to 13:30 (CET) on Tuesday, 15 February 2022.

During the online course, Prof. Endre Varga (University of Szeged, Hungary) and Prof. Norbert Wiegand (University of Pécs, Hungary) will deal with the problems of distal locking and share their professional experiences in connection with the innovative MAGIC targeting system. An international co-chair will also take part in the webinar, by representing EFORT.
The topic of distal locking has been an actual issue within medical health care, since- in terms of data* – approximately 251 out of 100 thousand people need a nail implant (humerus, femur, tibia) in the European Union, which means almost 1.000.000. surgeries per year of the entire population. Due to the ageing population and osteoporosis, the number of fractures will increase by nearly four times by 2050, therefore only for the trochanter region 6.26 million cases are predicted The average surgical time of a medullary nail is 60-90 minutes, during the operation you need to find 2-3 locking holes under X-rays, which can take 3-5 minutes per hole depending on the surgeon’s practice, meanwhile, the operator and the operating staff are exposed to radiation an effective dose limit of 20mSv per year).
Sanatmetal Ltd. has a unique nail design with special innovative instruments and a so-called MAGIC instrument (patent case number: P1500124, entitled: Sanatmetal Kft.) which reduces the radiation exposure by 40-100% in finding the distal holes and which reduced surgical time is approximately 25%.
Compared to the EU global market, with an average surgery time of 60 minutes and count with 1 million surgeries, with a 25% reduction in surgery time – approx. 53m EUR cost could be saved by Magic System* and count with an average 70% radiation reduction Magic could decrease the radiation exposure with 889 e mSv. (in one operation with a dosimeter measured 1.27 mSv).
At Sanatmetal, as an international family business, our mission is to improve the quality of life, which is important not only for the patients but for the doctors and the operation theatre staff as well. Therefore we believe that it is our professional obligation to present and develop our innovative implant-instrument solutions.
If you would like to know more about magnetic targeting or are open to innovative medical solutions we would be more than happy to haveing you in the Sanatmetal-EFORT webinar, for which you can register on the below link:https://efortnet.conference2web.com/#!industry_webinars
