Clinical Application
Designed to facilitate controlled percutaneous placement of Kirschner wires for skeletal fixation, provisional stabilization, and pin fixation during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common applications include closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of fractures, fixation of metacarpal/phalangeal injuries, and temporary stabilization during deformity correction or fragment manipulation.
Design & Configuration
The trocar-point geometry provides a sharp, self-centering tip that penetrates cortical bone efficiently with reduced tendency to bend or deflect. The round external end supports secure seating of the wire in hand instruments or drill chucks and minimizes snagging of soft tissue during insertion and removal. At 1.5 mm diameter and 160 mm working length, the configuration balances rigidity for accurate targeting with enough length for common extremity and small-bone procedures.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire trocar introducer
- Tip pattern: Trocar point with round external end
- Size: 1.5 mm × 160 mm
- Typical use: Percutaneous K-wire placement for fracture fixation and provisional stabilization
