Kirschner Wire Tro. point round end 1.6x60mm

Clinical Application

This 1.6 mm x 60 mm trocar‑point K‑wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary fragment stabilization in orthopedic and trauma procedures. Common uses include closed or percutaneous pinning of small bones and peri‑articular fractures (hand, wrist, foot), provisional fixation during ORIF, and selective pediatric pinning where a slender, rigid fixation pin is required. The trocar tip allows direct penetration of cortical bone when predrilling is not performed, enabling rapid placement in acute fracture management and intraoperative reduction maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The straight single‑ended shaft provides predictable stiffness and torsional control during advancement and manipulation. The trocar point is a three‑faceted sharp tip engineered to cut through cortical bone, reducing the need for separate awls in many applications. The round end at the proximal side facilitates secure engagement with manual T‑handles, pin drivers, or power attachments sized for 1.6 mm pins, and also permits controlled bending or trimming when required for external fixation constructs or temporary retention.

Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical‑grade stainless steel chosen for rigidity and corrosion resistance common to surgical fixation pins. The trocar tip geometry is ground to provide a sharp cutting profile for reliable cortical entry. Reusable construction supports standard decontamination and sterilization workflows in hospital sterile processing departments.

Quality & Compliance

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