Kirschner Wire Lancet Point Pin 2.2x100mm

Clinical Application

Designed for orthopedic fixation, this lancet‑point Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous and transosseous pinning to achieve provisional or definitive stabilization of bone fragments. Common applications include closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) of hand, wrist and foot fractures, temporary skeletal traction, construction of external fixation frames, and adjunctive fixation during reconstructive procedures. The lancet point facilitates controlled entry through skin and cortical bone with minimal pre‑drilling in many clinical scenarios.

Design & Configuration

The lancet point geometry provides two bevelled cutting edges that create a sharp, chisel‑like tip for predictable cortical penetration and directional control during insertion. The smooth, straight pin profile minimizes soft‑tissue drag and allows easy advancement with manual drivers, power pin drivers, or cannulated instrumentation where compatible. Diameter (2.2 mm) and 100 mm length provide a balance of bending stiffness and sufficient working length for common intraosseous and external fixation constructs.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Kirschner wire (K‑wire)
• Point: Lancet point
• Configuration: Smooth, straight pin
• Size: 2.2 mm x 100 mm
• Common uses: Percutaneous fixation, external fixation, skeletal traction, provisional fixation
• Material: Surgical‑grade stainless steel

Material & Construction

Typically manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel to provide the strength and corrosion resistance required for orthopedic fixation. The lancet tip is precision‑formed to ensure consistent penetration characteristics; the shaft is smooth to facilitate passage through soft tissues and bone. Constructed as a solid pin to resist deformation under standard clinical loads.

Quality & Compliance

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