Femoral Neck Lengthening Wedges ŠSlocum Enterprises, Inc.

Right & Left Femoral Neck Lengthening Wedges

    The Femoral Neck Lengthening Wedge is used to increase the biomechanical forces which drive the femoral head into the acetabulum in dogs who have femoral hip dysplasia.  These cases have adequate dorsal acetabular rim, but the hip subluxates.  The Femoral Neck Lengthening wedges come in right and left sides, with multiple lengths from 4mm to 12mm, which can be easily cut at the surgery table for ease in placement.  Steam or gas sterilization.  U.S. Patent No. 4,759,351Femoral Neck Lengthening Wedge in Femur ŠSlocum Enterprises, Inc.(15863 bytes)
