Clinical Application
This trocar-point K-wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization in a range of orthopedic procedures. Common uses include pinning of fractures, provisional stabilization during reduction, fixation of small bone fragments in hand and foot surgery, and as guide pins during placement of external fixation or definitive hardware. The trocar tip enables controlled cortical penetration with minimal skiving when establishing a pilot trajectory.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp three- or four-sided cutting tip that facilitates direct cortical entry and predictable advancement through cancellous bone. A straight wire body preserves bending stiffness for alignment and load transfer, while the round trailing end allows secure engagement with manual drivers and power pin drivers without risk of irregular seating. The 2.5 mm diameter balances rigidity and minimal bone disruption; the 120 mm length supports placement across deeper segments or through soft-tissue envelopes when longer working length is required.
