Kirschner Extension Bow 200x155mm

Clinical Application

This extension bow provides an offset connection point for Kirschner wires (K-wires) used in external fixation. It is commonly used in hand, wrist and small-bone trauma to maintain reduction, length and alignment while allowing soft-tissue access and wound care. The bow enables surgeons to convert percutaneous K-wire fixation into a supported external construct for temporary stabilization during definitive care or staged reconstruction.

Design & Configuration

The bow geometry creates an accessible, offset attachment that keeps external hardware clear of soft tissues and dressing while providing rigid anchoring for clamps or connecting elements. Its shape helps distribute loads from K-wires into the external frame and offers a predictable working distance from the bone, which aids in pin-tract care and operative ergonomics. The simple, single-piece configuration streamlines intraoperative assembly and removal.
