Kirschner Wire Tro. point round end 1.6x160mm

Clinical Application

A 1.6 x 160 mm trocar‑point Kirschner wire is used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization in a wide range of orthopedic procedures. Typical applications include pinning of phalanges, metacarpals, metatarsals, distal radius fragments, and other small‑bone constructs where a low‑profile, rigid pin is required. The trocar point facilitates direct cortical penetration for fast insertion during closed reduction, pinning, or when establishing provisional fixation for definitive internal or external fixation.

Design & Configuration

The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, self‑cutting tip that reduces the need for extensive predrilling and eases cortical entry through dense bone. The 1.6 mm diameter offers a balance of bending resistance and minimal soft‑tissue profile, while the 160 mm length accommodates deeper intramedullary or transosseous placements and external fixation constructs where a longer working length is needed. The solid, single‑rod configuration reduces the risk of deformation during insertion and removal.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K‑wire)
• Pattern / model: Trocar point, round end
• Configuration: Solid percutaneous fixation pin
• Size: 1.6 x 160 mm
• Tip pattern: Trocar (sharp cutting) point for cortical entry
• Typical uses: Percutaneous pinning, temporary fixation, skeletal traction and provisional stabilization in small bones
• Material: Medical‑grade stainless steel

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical‑grade stainless steel in a single, solid rod configuration to provide predictable strength and torque resistance. The smooth finish reduces soft‑tissue drag during insertion and facilitates cleaning and sterilization. Stainless steel construction also ensures clear visualization under fluoroscopy during placement.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
