Clinical Application
Used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional fixation of small- to medium-sized bone fragments. The 2.8 x 60 mm profile is commonly selected for hand, wrist, forearm and select foot procedures where a balance of implant rigidity and low profile is required. Intended for placement with manual pin drivers or power-assisted insertion techniques to create temporary fixation, provide traction, or serve as fixation points for external frames.
Design & Configuration
The trocar-point tip provides a sharp, three-sided geometry optimized for controlled cortical penetration with minimal skiving. The ‘‘round end’’ designation refers to the finished external end geometry that facilitates handling, bending and trimming once placed. The 2.8 mm diameter offers increased bending resistance compared with smaller diameters while remaining low-profile for soft-tissue preservation; the 60 mm length is suitable for many percutaneous and subcutaneous applications where a moderate working length is needed.
Instrument Specifications
- Size: 2.8 x 60 mm (diameter x length)
- Tip: Trocar-point penetrating tip
- End geometry: Round external end for handling and trimming
