Clinical Application
This trocar‑point Kirschner wire is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic and trauma procedures. At 1.0 mm diameter and 60 mm length it is appropriate for small‑bone applications such as hand, wrist and foot fractures, as well as temporary fixation during reduction or construction of external fixators. The trocar tip expedites cortical penetration for rapid, low‑profile fixation under fluoroscopic guidance.
Design & Configuration
The straight, smooth shank provides low‑friction passage through soft tissues and bone, minimizing tissue drag and reducing the risk of soft‑tissue tethering. The trocar (three‑sided cutting) point concentrates insertion force at a finely sharpened tip to facilitate controlled, percutaneous entry into cortical bone without the need for a large initial pilot hole in many cases. The 1.0 mm diameter offers a balance between sufficient stiffness for stabilization and a minimally invasive footprint for small or pediatric bones.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K‑wire)
- Pattern: Trocar point pin
- Size: 1.0 mm × 60 mm
- Tip: Trocar (sharp cutting) point
- Typical use: Percutaneous pinning, temporary stabilization, small‑bone fixation
- Material: Stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from corrosion‑resistant stainless steel with a polished, smooth shank to reduce tissue adherence and facilitate insertion and removal. The trocar point is ground to a sharp profile for predictable cortical entry and consistent directional control under fluoroscopy.
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.
