Clinical Application
Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in a wide range of orthopedic procedures. The 1.8 x 310 mm diameter/length combination is commonly used for fixation of small- to medium-sized bones (for example hand, wrist, foot and select long-bone applications), temporary interfragmentary fixation, skeletal traction, and as guide/pilot pins during reduction and fixation maneuvers. The trocar point facilitates direct cortical penetration, enabling rapid insertion under fluoroscopic control without the need for extensive pre-drilling in many clinical settings.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides predictable insertion trajectories for percutaneous and open techniques. A trocar-style cutting tip concentrates cutting force at a single point to ease cortical entry and reduce lateral skiving when compared with blunt or trocarless tips. The 310 mm length offers extended reach for deep or multi-pin constructs and for applications where pins must traverse soft tissues to external fixation clusters. The 1.8 mm diameter balances bending resistance with low-profile fixation appropriate for small-bone work and provisional fixation tasks.
Instrument Specifications
- Type: Kirschner (K-) wire with trocar point
- Pattern / model: Trocar point R/end
- Configuration: straight
- Size: 1.8 x 310 mm (diameter x length)
- Tip: trocar (sharp cutting) tip for cortical penetration
- Typical use: percutaneous fixation, temporary stabilization, guide/pilot pin
- Material: medical-grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel to provide strength, corrosion resistance, and the rigidity required for reliable cortical engagement. The trocar tip is ground to a cutting geometry optimized for controlled penetration and reduced wobble during insertion. The construction is consistent with typical orthopedic fixation wires used under fluoroscopic guidance.
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.
