Clinical Application
Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and temporary stabilization of bone fragments, this trocar-point Kirschner pin is suited to a range of orthopedic and trauma procedures where a slender, rigid fixation element is required. The 1.6 x 140 mm profile is commonly used for fixation of small to medium bones, provisional pinning during fracture reduction, and applications requiring a long working length such as distal extremity and periarticular procedures. The trocar point facilitates direct bone entry without prior drilling in many cortical scenarios and may be used with manual pin drivers or power pin drivers as clinically indicated.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a three-sided cutting tip that eases cortical penetration and produces a predictable entry track, reducing the need for pre-drilling in appropriate bone. The straight, smooth shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag during passage and allows secure seating in soft-tissue and bone when used with external-fixation clamps or pin caps. The 140 mm length offers extended reach for deep or long-bone applications while the 1.6 mm diameter balances bending resistance with a minimally invasive profile.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire) trocar point pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Configuration: Straight smooth pin
- Size: 1.6 x 140 mm
- Tip: Trocar (three-sided) cutting tip
- Typical use: Percutaneous skeletal fixation, temporary stabilization, fracture pinning
- Material: Stainless steel
- Reusable: Reusable (sterilizable)
Material & Construction
Manufactured from precision-ground stainless steel to provide consistent shaft straightness and controlled tip geometry. The trocar point is machined to deliver reliable cutting performance at insertion while the smooth shaft surface reduces tissue adherence. Constructed for repeated sterilization and clinical use where reusable fixation pins are preferred.
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.
