Clinical Application
This trocar‑point K‑wire is intended for percutaneous and open orthopedic applications where a solid, straight pin is required to achieve provisional or definitive skeletal stabilization. Common uses include temporary fixation of fracture fragments, Kirschner‑wire pinning of small bones, placement within external fixation constructs, skeletal traction, and transfixation for reduction or manipulation in trauma and reconstructive procedures. The 2.0 mm diameter provides a balance of bending stiffness and ease of insertion suitable for many hand, wrist, forearm and selected long‑bone applications where a mid‑sized pin is indicated.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry facilitates direct percutaneous entry through soft tissue and cortical bone with reduced need for pre‑drilling in many indications, producing a clean corticotomy to improve initial purchase. The straight, solid shaft resists torsional deformation during drilling and manipulation, while the 310 mm working length enables engagement through deep soft tissue envelopes or use in external fixation assemblies without premature shortage of exposed pin length. The smooth shaft profile minimizes soft‑tissue drag and reduces irritation along the pin tract when used percutaneously.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter: 2.0 mm
- Overall length: 310 mm
- Tip: Trocar point for cortical penetration
- Configuration: Solid, straight fixation pin
- Intended use: Percutaneous and open skeletal fixation, external fixation, provisional stabilization
Material & Construction
The pin is manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel, providing the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength expected of orthopedic fixation pins. The trocar point is ground to a tapered, multi‑faceted profile to facilitate controlled cortical entry. No additional components such as tungsten carbide inserts or illumination are incorporated.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
