Clinical Application
Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional or definitive pinning, this trocar-point K-wire provides fast cortical penetration and reliable purchase for fracture reduction, temporary stabilization, external fixation anchors, guide pin placement, and small-bone fixation in hand, wrist, foot and trauma procedures. The 1.5 x 160 mm profile balances cortical holding strength with minimal bone disruption, making it suitable for a range of orthopaedic and trauma indications where a slim, rigid pin is required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry features a sharp, three-sided cutting tip that facilitates direct percutaneous entry through skin and cortical bone with reduced need for pre-drilling in many applications. The straight, solid shaft provides axial rigidity to resist bending during insertion and temporary loading. The length allows adequate cortical engagement for most small- to medium-sized bone applications while permitting trimming and bending when used as part of external fixation constructs or temporary fixation assemblies.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter: 1.5 mm
- Overall length: 160 mm
- Tip: Trocar (sharp, cutting) point for percutaneous entry
- Configuration: Solid, straight pin suitable for hand or power insertion
- Intended use: Percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional pinning
Material & Construction
Manufactured from medical‑grade stainless steel with a smooth, turned finish to reduce soft-tissue drag during insertion. The trocar point is formed to maintain a sharp cutting profile for consistent penetration. The single-piece construction maximizes shaft strength for clinical handling and manipulation.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
