Clinical Application
This precision 1.0 x 60 mm Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization of small-bone fractures. Common applications include hand and wrist pinning, finger and toe fixation, provisional reduction during open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), and use in pediatric and adult cases where a low-profile fixation element is required. The trocar point facilitates cortical penetration with controlled insertion force and predictable trajectory.
Design & Configuration
The trocar (tri-bevel) point geometry allows efficient cortical entry with reduced tendency to skive, improving placement accuracy in dense bone. The smooth, uniform-diameter shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag and eases passage through percutaneous soft-tissue tunnels. A rounded proximal end provides a safe surface for handling, engagement with pin drivers or power chucks, and allows controlled bending or trimming when required for final fixation. At 1.0 mm diameter and 60 mm length the wire balances strength and minimal profile for small-bone constructs.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire)
- Tip configuration: Trocar point
- Proximal end: Round
- Size: 1.0 x 60 mm
- Intended use: Percutaneous skeletal fixation, provisional stabilization
Material & Construction
Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel for torsional strength and resistance to deformation during insertion. The single-piece construction and polished finish reduce tissue adhesion and facilitate cleaning and sterilization between uses. Compatible with standard surgical pin drivers and power handles used for K-wire placement.
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.
