Clinical Application
This trocar-point K-wire is intended for percutaneous and open skeletal fixation where a low-profile, rigid pin is required. The 2.2 x 120 mm size is commonly used for provisional fixation, definitive transosseous pinning, traction, and temporary stabilization during open reduction and internal fixation of small to medium bones (for example hand, wrist and foot procedures). It can also be used for guide pin applications where a firm cortical entry and accurate trajectory are required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar-style cutting tip provides a concentrated, self-drilling entry through cortical bone for predictable placement with minimal wandering. The straight, single-piece geometry preserves rigidity and resists bending during insertion and manipulation. A rounded trailing end reduces the risk of soft-tissue snagging and facilitates manual handling and instrument fixation when used with pin-holders or wire drivers.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument: Kirschner wire (K-wire)
- Pattern: Trocar point with round end
- Size: 2.2 x 120 mm
- Typical use: Percutaneous pinning, provisional fixation, skeletal stabilization
- Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel; reusable
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability. The single-piece construction maintains axial strength and straightness under typical loads encountered during insertion and clinical use. Designed for repeated reprocessing and clinical use where a reusable K-wire is specified.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
