Kirschner Wire Trocar Point Pin 1.4x160mm

Clinical Application

This trocar-point K-wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization of bone fragments in small-fragment orthopaedic procedures. Typical applications include hand and wrist fixation, metacarpal/metatarsal pinning, temporary guide pins for plate or wire constructs, and adjunct use with external fixation systems. The sharp trocar point facilitates direct cortical entry and controlled placement without the need for a separate drilling step in many cases, improving efficiency during closed or minimally invasive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The straight, solid geometry provides reliable axial stiffness for maintaining reduction during fixation and for use as a temporary holding pin or guide. The trocar-style tip geometry is designed to penetrate cortical bone cleanly, reducing skiving and helping to establish an accurate trajectory. The 1.4 x 160 mm dimension balances low-profile diameter for small-bone work with sufficient length for many distal extremity and external fixation applications. A smooth, polished shaft reduces soft-tissue drag during insertion and removal.
