Clinical Application
Trocar-point Kirschner wires provide a sharp, self-piercing tip for percutaneous placement in a wide range of orthopedic and trauma procedures. Typical uses include provisional fracture fixation, provisional pinning during reduction, skeletal traction applications, and as guide pins for cannulated screws and other implants. The 1.6 x 310 mm size is commonly selected for small- to medium-bone fixation and for situations requiring extended working length, such as distal extremity procedures and cases where access from a distance is needed.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry produces a sharp, triangular profile that concentrates insertion force at the tip for controlled cortical penetration with reduced skiving. A straight, single-ended configuration preserves axial stiffness and torsional resistance during insertion and manual manipulation. The designation "round end" indicates a rounded proximal end profile that facilitates engagement with manual drivers or wire-holding instruments and reduces snagging on dressings or soft tissue during removal.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire), trocar point
- Pattern / model: Trocar point, round end
- Configuration: Single-ended, straight wire
- Size: 1.6 x 310 mm
- Tip: Trocar point
- Typical use: Percutaneous fixation, temporary stabilization, guide pin for cannulated systems
- Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the balance of strength and flexibility required for percutaneous fixation. The trocar tip is precisely machined to deliver reliable sharpness and entry characteristics while the straight, solid shaft provides consistent bending and torsional performance during placement and removal.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
