Kirschner Wire Lancet Point Pin 2.5x100mm

Clinical Application

Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation, this lancet-point Kirschner wire is used to achieve provisional or definitive stabilization of fragments in hand, wrist, forearm, foot and other small-bone procedures. Common applications include closed reduction and pinning of fractures, fragment fixation for tension-band constructs, provision of temporary alignment during internal fixation, and as components of external fixation and skeletal traction assemblies. The sharp lancet tip facilitates controlled cortical entry for precise placement through skin and soft tissue.

Design & Configuration

The straight, smooth shaft provides low soft-tissue drag and allows controlled advancement into bone. The lancet point tip features sharpened cutting edges to penetrate cortical bone with reduced insertion force compared with blunt or trocar tips, improving directional control at the entry site. The 2.5 mm diameter balances bending resistance and ease of insertion for small- to medium-sized cortices, while the 100 mm length provides adequate purchase and working length for many extremity procedures. The simple pin geometry permits trimming, bending, or removal as required by the procedure and surgeon preference.

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel to provide appropriate torsional strength and corrosion resistance for orthopedic fixation. The shaft is ground and polished to reduce soft-tissue adhesion during insertion and removal. Tip geometry is precision-ground to ensure consistent penetration characteristics and predictable cortical purchase.

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.
