Clinical Application
Used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopaedic procedures, this K‑wire is suitable for pinning small bones, provisional reduction during fracture fixation, temporary fixation for hand, wrist and foot procedures, and as guide/pilot wires in multi‑stage operative techniques. The 1.0 mm diameter is commonly selected for small bone applications where a low‑profile, minimal‑invasive fixation element is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight wire geometry provides direct, predictable placement through soft tissue and cortical bone. A trocar point tip facilitates cortical entry with controlled purchase, reducing the need for extensive pre‑drilling in many small‑bone scenarios. The round end designation refers to the finished distal tip profile used in this pattern to provide a consistent insertion feel and reliable engagement with drill or driver accessories designed for standard K‑wires.
Instrument Specifications
