Clinical Application
Used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic and trauma procedures. The trocar-point configuration facilitates penetration of cortical and cancellous bone during pinning of small bones and fragments, temporary fixation of phalanges and metacarpals, and selective provisional stabilization in reconstructive and fracture reduction workflows. Suitable for use as a guide or positional pin in hand, wrist and foot surgeries where a thin-profile fixation element is required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar-point tip is engineered to provide reliable cortical entry with minimal skiving, allowing controlled advancement through soft tissue and bone. The slender 1.4 mm diameter balances low-profile fixation with adequate axial stiffness for small-bone applications; the 310 mm length provides extended reach for deeper or transosseous placements and for use in constructs requiring external connections or temporary external fixation alignment. Clinically, the combination of narrow gauge and sharp trocar geometry reduces soft-tissue disruption and facilitates accurate percutaneous placement under fluoroscopic guidance.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire)
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Size: 1.4 x 310 mm
- Tip: Trocar point (sharp piercing tip)
- Typical use: Percutaneous fixation and provisional stabilization for small-bone procedures
