Clinical Application
Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation, this 1.0 x 100 mm lancet-point pin is intended for temporary stabilization, fragment alignment and provisional fixation in small-bone procedures. Typical applications include phalangeal and metacarpal pinning, transarticular fixation, temporizing fixation in distal radius/ulna and selected foot and ankle procedures. The lancet point facilitates controlled cortical entry under manual or fluoroscopic guidance, making it suitable for closed or minimally invasive techniques.
Design & Configuration
The straight, smooth shaft provides predictable mechanics during insertion and removal while minimizing soft-tissue drag. The lancet point tip is ground to concentrate force for reliable cortical penetration with a controlled entry profile, reducing the need for larger trocars or awls in many percutaneous applications. The 1.0 mm diameter balances bending resistance and low-profile bone purchase, appropriate for small bones where preservation of bone stock and limited soft-tissue disruption are priorities.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter: 1.0 mm
- Length: 100 mm
- Tip: Lancet point for percutaneous cortical entry
- Configuration: Straight, smooth pin
- Primary use: Temporary and provisional fixation in small-bone and hand/foot procedures
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a polished shaft to aid insertion and reduce tissue adherence. The precision-ground lancet tip provides consistent penetration characteristics while the smooth finish helps facilitate atraumatic removal. The material ensures radiographic visibility under intraoperative fluoroscopy for placement confirmation.
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.
