Clinical Application
This trocar-point Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization of small- to medium-sized bones. Common procedural uses include pinning of hand, wrist and foot fractures, provisional fixation during open reduction, temporary alignment for external fixation constructs, and as a guidewire for cannulated instruments where appropriate. The 2.2 mm diameter provides a balance of rigidity and minimal profile for small-bone applications.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point tip is shaped to provide efficient cortical penetration with a controlled, self-centering entry, reducing the tendency to skive on dense bone. The 2.2 mm round shaft offers predictable bending and holding characteristics under load, and the 60 mm working length accommodates percutaneous pin placement in many common extremity procedures. The geometry is suitable for insertion with a hand chuck or low-speed power driver depending on surgeon preference.
