Clinical Application
Used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in trauma and orthopedics. The trocar‑point wire is commonly employed for pinning small bones, provisional fragment control during open reduction, constructing and connecting external fixation frames, and as a guide pin for cannulated screws and instruments. The 1.0 x 160 mm size is frequently selected where a low‑profile diameter is required while providing sufficient length to cross cortices or span surgical approaches.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry delivers a sharp, triangular cutting tip designed to penetrate cortical bone with controlled entry and reduced tendency to bend or deflect. A straight, smooth shaft permits percutaneous insertion with minimal soft tissue drag and facilitates passage through soft tissues and bone. The combination of a slim 1.0 mm diameter and 160 mm overall length balances minimally invasive profile with practical working length for intraoperative positioning or external fixation assembly.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K‑wire) trocar point pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Configuration: Straight, smooth pin
- Size: 1.0 x 160 mm
- Tip pattern: Trocar (sharp triangular cutting tip)
