 The Talon™ CHS seeks to reduce complications by allowing the surgeon to fully compress the fracture while the patient is on the table, instead of relying upon variables beyond the surgeon's control which occur after the operation. The talons have been shown to provide twice the compression and a threefold increase in rotational stability over non-talon lag screws. The clinical benefits, therefore, are a direct result of the Talon™ CHS providing the surgeon with the needed tools to achieve better purchase in the proximal fragment.
The custom, stainless steel alloy talons are designed with chisel-type tips that allows them to cut into the cortical bone without splitting it. The talons can deploy to variable depths based upon surgeon preference and the quality of bone available.
 Just two (2) trays contain the entire Talon™ CHS system! The Talon™ CHS was designed to provide full visualization of the implants and instrumentation to the surgeon and OR staff. This way you see exactly what has been used during surgery.
 The Talon™ CHS is designed to deploy its talons into the region where good cortical bone most often exists: the calcar femorale. [A review of even the most osteoporotic femurs shows increased density at the calcar femorale.] In addition, watching deployment of the talons under radiography and feeling the resistance provides the surgeon with a unique feedback mechanism as to the quality of the bone.
The talon retraction instrumentation is included in every instrument set! This eliminates the need to store or sterilize a third set of instruments should explanation of the system be required.
