Clinical Application
This trocar‑point Kirschner wire is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary pinning in orthopedics and trauma surgery. At 1.5 x 140 mm, it is suited for fixation of small bones and fragments commonly encountered in hand, wrist, forefoot and pediatric procedures, as well as for provisional stabilization and skeletal traction where a slender, strong pin is required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point provides a sharp, cutting profile that facilitates direct bone entry without predrilling in many cortical settings, allowing controlled percutaneous placement under fluoroscopic guidance. The round proximal end permits secure handling with wire drivers or pliers and reduces soft‑tissue snagging at the entry site. The smooth, consistent shaft profile supports predictable insertion, bending, and removal when used for temporary fixation.
