Steinmann Pin w/Trocar tip

Clinical Application

Provides percutaneous skeletal stabilization and traction in trauma and orthopedic procedures. The sharp trocar tip is designed to penetrate soft tissue and cortical bone for placement as temporary fixation, skeletal traction pins, or as pin elements in external fixation constructs. Common uses include provisional fixation during fracture reduction, limb traction, and securing external fixator assemblies in extremity and pelvic applications.

Design & Configuration

The straight, solid shaft geometry delivers axial strength and resistance to bending under load, which is important for traction and stabilization. A smooth, polished shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag on insertion and removal. The trocar tip concentrates force on a small point to facilitate percutaneous entry through skin and cortex; this can reduce insertion time and soft-tissue disruption compared with blunter tips. Selection of appropriate diameter and length is important clinically to achieve the desired holding power and mechanical stability for the intended fixation application.
