摘要:
A mold (10) for forming a coated intramedullary (IM) nail can include a tubular member (12) having an insertion end (14) that defines an opening and an opposite end (16) that provides a closed end (22). The tubular member (12) can comprise a sidewall (34) extending along a longitudinal axis between an outer surface and an inner surface. The sidewall can define at least one threaded inlet port therealong, configured to receive a flowable material delivery device (100) and that can be closed by a threaded cap (49). The tubular member (12) can be configured to receive the IM nail (60) therein. A method of coating comprises advancing the IM nail into a tubular member (12) of a mold (10), introducing flowable material (102) through a first port at a first location on the tubular member (12) to locate a flowable material (102) against the IM nail (60) within the inner surface and subsequent to curing of the flowable material, removing the tubular member (12) from the coated IM nail.
