Kirschner Extension Bow 95x70mm

Clinical Application

This bow-shaped extension provides a secure, rigid attachment point to the exposed ends of Kirschner wires to support provisional fixation, traction, and connection to external fixation assemblies. It is commonly used in hand, wrist and small-bone procedures where K-wires are employed for temporary stabilization, in situations requiring controlled manipulation of bone fragments without direct handling of the wire tip, and when an extended interface is needed to couple wires to clamps or external frames.

Design & Configuration

The curved bow geometry creates clearance between the wire and soft tissues while delivering a compact, rigid extension to the K-wire. The 95 x 70 mm frame provides reach and working distance suitable for small-bone and periarticular applications, allowing surgeons to secure a stable extrinsic attachment for traction or to integrate wires into external fixation constructs. The simple bow configuration minimizes bulk while maintaining mechanical stability for temporary constructs and facilitates rapid application and removal in the operating room.
