Clinical Application
This instrument is designed to serve as a Kirschner wire with a trocar point tip and a round-end shaft for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional pinning. It is intended for use in minimally invasive fracture fixation, temporary stabilization, and traction procedures where slender-diameter pins are required—commonly in hand, wrist, foot and other small-bone applications. The trocar point facilitates controlled cortical entry while the smooth round shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag during insertion and removal.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, centered cutting tip that allows predictable cortical penetration with reduced bending forces compared with blunter tips. The 1.4 mm diameter offers a balance of rigidity and low-profile placement for small-bone fixation; the 60 mm working length provides sufficient purchase for phalangeal, metacarpal and similar procedures without excessive protrusion. A round, non-threaded shaft simplifies advancement and extraction and reduces the risk of soft-tissue snagging during percutaneous techniques.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire) with trocar point
- Pattern / model: Trocar point, round end
- Configuration: 1.4 mm × 60 mm single-shaft pin
- Tip pattern: Trocar (sharp cutting) point

Material & Construction
Constructed from precision stainless steel to provide consistent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The shaft and trocar point are machined for concentricity to reduce bending and improve insertion accuracy. The smooth round termination of the shaft is intended to simplify handling and removal during clinical use.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
