Kirschner Extension Bow w/3 hooks 60x60mm

Clinical Application

This extension bow is used to couple to Kirschner wires (K-wires) and temporary pin constructs to provide traction, alignment control and connection points for lightweight external fixation assemblies. Its compact footprint is suited to small-bone procedures—including hand, wrist, foot and select pediatric applications—where low-profile stabilization and the ability to apply multi-point tension or connect to auxiliary hardware are required. It is intended for intraoperative use and temporary postoperative stabilization until definitive fixation is achieved.

Design & Configuration

The three-hook extension bow provides three distinct attachment points for K-wires or pin clamps, allowing distribution of forces across multiple pins and facilitating controlled traction or manipulation of fracture fragments. The symmetrical 60x60 mm geometry yields a compact, low-profile frame that minimizes soft-tissue impingement in anatomically confined areas. The open-hook design permits rapid engagement and removal of wires during reduction and adjustment without the need for specialized tools, improving workflow in the operating room.
