Kirschner Wire Lancet Point Pin 1.6x100mm

Clinical Application

This 1.6 x 100 mm lancet‑point Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous and open provisional fixation in orthopedic procedures. Common applications include closed reduction and pinning of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures, temporary alignment during fracture fixation, pin placement for external fixation frames, and skeletal traction. The 1.6 mm diameter balances strength with minimal bone disruption, making it appropriate for small‑bone and hand/foot indications as well as select pediatric cases where a slender pin is required.

Design & Configuration

The lancet point geometry provides a sharp, beveled penetration profile that facilitates cortical entry with reduced skiving compared with blunt tips. A straight, smooth shaft minimizes soft‑tissue drag during insertion and removal, while the 100 mm length offers reach for deeper constructs or bicortical purchase when required. The profile is suitable for manual insertion with a T‑handle or wire driver and for use with standard pin clamping hardware in external fixation.

Instrument Specifications

• Size: 1.6 x 100 mm
• Tip: Lancet point for reliable cortical penetration
• Configuration: Straight, smooth shaft pin for percutaneous or open application
• Typical uses: Provisional fixation, percutaneous pinning, external fixation, skeletal traction
• Material: Surgical‑grade stainless steel

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel to provide strength and corrosion resistance appropriate for orthopedic fixation. The smooth, polished shaft reduces tissue drag during passage and facilitates atraumatic removal. The construction supports repeated sterilization cycles when processed according to facility protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
