Clinical Application
This trocar-point K-wire is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization of small bone fragments. At 0.8 x 60 mm it is commonly used in hand, wrist and foot procedures, pediatric small-bone fixation, and for temporary traction or reduction maintenance during open or closed fracture management. The trocar tip allows controlled penetration of cortical bone without the need for a separate awl in many percutaneous applications.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharply tapered cutting tip for direct entry through soft tissue and cortical bone with a single-step insertion. The slender 0.8 mm diameter balances minimal soft-tissue disruption with adequate stiffness for provisional fixation in small bones. A 60 mm overall length accommodates typical percutaneous trajectories on distal extremity procedures while remaining short enough for precise handling in confined operative fields.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner (K) wire, trocar-point pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Configuration: Percutaneous fixation pin
- Size: 0.8 x 60 mm
- Tip: Sharp trocar point for cortical penetration
- Typical use: Temporary skeletal fixation, fragment pinning, small-bone and pediatric procedures
- Material: Medical-grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel to provide the stiffness and corrosion resistance required for percutaneous fixation. The shaft is smooth and polished to reduce tissue drag during insertion and removal. The trocar tip is ground to a precise acute geometry to facilitate predictable entry and minimize bone splintering.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
