Clinical Application
Provides percutaneous fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic procedures. The trocar‑point geometry facilitates reliable cortical penetration for procedures such as metacarpal and phalangeal pinning, distal radius provisional fixation, toe and forefoot stabilization, and temporary skeletal traction. The 1.4 mm diameter is commonly selected for small‑bone and pediatric applications where a balance of strength and minimal bone disruption is required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point tip is shaped to concentrate force at a small cutting profile, enabling efficient entry through cortical bone with reduced tendency to skate on hard surfaces. A smooth shaft minimizes soft‑tissue drag during percutaneous insertion and removal. The rounded proximal end reduces soft tissue irritation at the skin surface and provides a secure region for bending or external anchoring when temporary external fixation or wire retention is required. The 120 mm working length offers reach for most hand, wrist, and foot applications while maintaining control during manual or power‑assisted insertion.
Instrument Specifications
