Clinical Application
This instrument is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization of bone fragments. The trocar point facilitates controlled cortical penetration for pinning small bones and fragments in extremity, hand, wrist and pediatric procedures. It is commonly used for temporary fixation, traction assemblies, and as component pins in external fixation constructs.
Design & Configuration
The straight, 1.6 mm diameter shaft provides axial rigidity appropriate for small-bone fixation while remaining slim for minimally invasive percutaneous placement. A trocar point delivers a cutting geometry that eases cortical entry and reduces the need for pre‑drilling in many applications. The round end affords a smooth proximal profile for handling, engagement with drivers or chuck adaptors, and reduces soft‑tissue irritation where the pin projects externally.
