Clinical Application
This trocar‑point Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization of bone fragments during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include closed or minimally invasive pinning of hand, wrist and forearm fractures, metacarpal/phalangeal pinning, prophylactic or auxiliary pins for external fixation constructs, and traction or provisional alignment in small‑ and medium‑bone applications. The sharp trocar tip facilitates controlled cortical entry and reduces the need for predrilling in many indications.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, self‑piercing triangular tip that promotes predictable cortical penetration and minimizes skiving on hard bone. The 2.5 mm diameter balances bending resistance with a profile suitable for small‑to‑medium bone fixation. At 310 mm overall length, the wire provides sufficient reach for cross‑pinning, spanning longer constructs, and use with external fixation assemblies or power drivers. The "R/end" designation denotes a specific proximal end configuration used for engagement with standard K‑wire holders, drivers, or manual clutches, facilitating insertion and removal.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter: 2.5 mm
- Length: 310 mm
- Tip: Trocar point
- Configuration: R/end
- Intended use: Percutaneous pinning, temporary fixation, external fixation pinning
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance, dimensional stability and the torsional strength required for insertion and manipulation. The trocar tip is ground for sharpness to optimize cortical penetration while preserving core strength.
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.
