Kirschner Extension Bow 270mm

Clinical Application

Provides an external extension and anchoring point for Kirschner wires (K-wires) during orthopedic procedures. Commonly used to convert percutaneous pins into a stable traction or fixation point, the device helps maintain reduction, permit controlled distraction, and facilitate attachment of weights, temporary frames, or soft-tissue supports during fracture management and pinning procedures in the hand, wrist, forearm and other small-bone applications.

Design & Configuration

The bow geometry creates lateral clearance from the skin and soft tissues while giving a rigid, easy-to-grasp extension for clamping or connection to traction assemblies. The length provides working reach and improved leverage for maintaining alignment and for connecting to external components without crowding the operative field. The ends are configured to engage K-wires or pin clamps securely, allowing straightforward placement and removal during intraoperative use or postoperative traction.
