Clinical Application
This trocar-point Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization of bone fragments during closed or open reduction procedures. The 2.0 mm diameter provides a balance between bending resistance and low soft-tissue profile, while the 310 mm length accommodates deeper placements and external fixation constructs. Clinically, trocar tips are used when direct cortical penetration is required for pinning metacarpal, phalangeal, small long-bone or periarticular fragments and for provisional stabilization during hardware placement.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry concentrates tip force for predictable cortical entry and reduced tendency to skive, improving control during percutaneous insertion. A straight shaft offers consistent alignment for reduction and when connecting to external fixation clamps or jig systems. The specified diameter and length enable the clinician to select a pin that provides sufficient axial strength while minimizing soft-tissue irritation and prominence under dressings.
Instrument Specifications
