Clinical Application
This trocar‑point Kirschner wire is used for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic and trauma procedures. At 1.2 mm diameter and 140 mm length it is particularly suitable for pinning small bones and fragments — common applications include phalangeal, metacarpal, metatarsal and distal radius fixation, as well as temporary fixation during open reductions and external fixation constructs. The sharp trocar tip facilitates direct skin and cortical penetration for rapid entry and controlled placement.
Design & Configuration
The straight, smooth pin geometry provides predictable bending characteristics and low profile once placed. The trocar point geometry concentrates force at the tip to permit percutaneous insertion without the need for extensive pre‑drilling in many cortical bone sites, improving procedural efficiency. The 140 mm length gives sufficient working length for through‑and‑through fixation or for use in deeper constructs while the 1.2 mm diameter balances biomechanical stiffness with minimal bone disruption in small bone applications.
Instrument Specifications
