Kirschner Extension Bow 155x155mm

Clinical Application

An extension bow is used to convert K‑wire crossings and percutaneous pin constructs into a controllable external fixation point. This accessory provides an elevated, stable anchor for tensioning wires, connecting rod elements, or adding modular components to provisional and definitive external fixation constructs. Typical applications include hand, wrist, forearm and small‑bone trauma where K‑wires are used for fixation and an elevated connection point is required to maintain alignment, soft‑tissue clearance, or interfragmentary tension.

Design & Configuration

The arched, bow‑style geometry creates a fixed offset between the plane of K‑wires and the external connection plane, improving soft‑tissue clearance and reducing interference with dressings and surgical access. The 155 x 155 mm footprint provides a standardized offset and working radius suitable for small to medium extremity constructs, allowing predictable alignment when incorporated into multi‑pin frames. The simple, open profile of the bow makes placement and removal straightforward during intraoperative adjustment and postoperative care.
