Kirschner Wire Trocar point pin 0.6x60mm

Clinical Application

This trocar-point K-wire is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary or definitive pinning in small-bone procedures. The 0.6 x 60 mm profile is suited to applications such as phalangeal, metacarpal and metatarsal fixation, provisional stabilization during reduction or open procedures, and select pediatric fixation where a low-profile pin is required. The sharp trocar tip facilitates direct cortical entry without requiring a separate sharp awl for initial penetration.

Design & Configuration

The trocar point geometry provides a penetrating cutting tip intended for controlled entry through skin and cortical bone. The smooth, straight shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag and allows easy advancement and removal. At 0.6 mm diameter the pin presents a low-profile implant that reduces soft-tissue irritation and prominence under dressings; clinicians should weigh the reduced bending stiffness of smaller-diameter pins when selecting fixation constructs and may use multiple pins or supplemental fixation for load-bearing applications. The 60 mm length offers reach for most small-bone and peri-articular placements while remaining manageable for percutaneous technique and fluoroscopic visualization.

Instrument Specifications

• Size: 0.6 x 60 mm (diameter x length)
• Tip: Trocar point for direct cortical penetration
• Configuration: Smooth, straight fixation pin for percutaneous use
• Typical use: Small-bone pinning, provisional fixation, hand/foot and pediatric applications
• Visibility: Radiopaque stainless steel suitable for intraoperative fluoroscopy

Material & Construction

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel with a polished shaft finish to reduce tissue drag and resist corrosion. The trocar tip is ground to provide reliable cortical entry; the smooth shaft is optimized for straightforward insertion and removal with standard K-wire handles or compatible drivers.

Quality & Compliance

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