Clinical Application
Used for percutaneous skeletal fixation, provisional stabilization and pinning in orthopaedic and trauma procedures. The 1.2 x 140 mm diameter/length combination is suited to small-bone and extremity applications (e.g., phalanges, metacarpals, metatarsals, distal radius/ulna, and temporary external fixation constructs) where a thin, firm wire is required for reduction, traction, or to secure fixation constructs.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point provides a sharp cutting profile that facilitates direct percutaneous entry through soft tissue and cortex without the need for extensive pre-drilling, improving control during manual insertion. The straight shaft and uniform 1.2 mm diameter balance flexibility and bending resistance for manipulation and placement in small bones. The round end geometry enables predictable seating in standard wire drivers and holders and reduces the risk of soft-tissue catching during insertion or removal.
Instrument Specifications
- Type: Kirschner wire (K-wire)
- Tip: trocar point
- End style: round end
- Size: 1.2 x 140 mm
- Configuration: straight shaft suitable for percutaneous insertion and wire holding devices
- Primary uses: percutaneous pinning, provisional fixation, skeletal traction, small-bone stabilization
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a smooth finish to facilitate passage through soft tissue and bone while resisting corrosion. The trocar tip is ground to a cutting profile appropriate for percutaneous entry; the straight, uniform shaft provides consistent mechanical performance for bending resistance and stability during fixation.
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.
