Kirschner Wire Trocar Point Pin 1.8x160mm

Clinical Application

Provides percutaneous skeletal fixation for a wide range of orthopedic procedures where temporary or definitive pin fixation is required. Common uses include provisional stabilization during fracture reduction, fixation for tension-band constructs, pinning of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, hand and wrist procedures, and small-bone fixation in foot and ankle surgery. The 1.8 x 160 mm size is frequently selected for small- to medium-sized bones where a balance of diameter strength and minimal bone disruption is needed.

Design & Configuration

The trocar point geometry features a sharply ground, three-sided tip designed for reliable cortical penetration with controlled tactile feedback during insertion. The straight, smooth shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag and facilitates passage through bone and surrounding soft tissues. The 160 mm working length gives surgeons reach for deeper or slightly bulky constructs while the 1.8 mm diameter offers a compromise between bending resistance and low bone displacement. These design elements aid rapid percutaneous placement and straightforward removal once fixation is no longer required.
