Clinical Application
This trocar-point fixation pin is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopaedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include temporary or definitive pinning for fracture reduction, external fixation constructs, and fixation of small bones and fragments where a slender, rigid pin is required for alignment or traction. The 2.2 x 310 mm dimension provides an extended working length for procedures requiring deeper purchase or crossing larger soft-tissue envelopes.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, penetrative tip for direct cortical entry, which can reduce the need for pre-drilling in many clinical situations and supports controlled, percutaneous insertion. The straight, smooth shaft facilitates passage through soft tissues and into bone with predictable tactile feedback, while the extended length permits placement from a distance or through thicker anatomical regions. The simple pin configuration allows use with manual pin drivers, power drivers adapted for K-wires, and as components within external fixation or wire-to-pin constructs.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter x Length: 2.2 x 310 mm
- Tip: Trocar point for direct cortical penetration
- Configuration: Straight, smooth fixation pin suitable for percutaneous insertion
- Intended use: Skeletal fixation, fracture pinning, provisional stabilization
Material & Construction
Typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the tensile strength and corrosion resistance required for orthopaedic fixation pins. The smooth, polished shaft minimizes tissue drag during insertion and facilitates removal. Designed and produced according to established engineering practices for fixation hardware.
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.
