Clinical Application
Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic and hand surgery procedures. The 1.8 x 60 mm diameter/length profile suits fixation of small bones and tubular bone fragments, temporary fracture reduction, tension-band constructs, and use as pins for external fixation assemblies. The trocar point facilitates predictable cortical penetration for rapid pin placement during closed or minimally invasive procedures.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and sharply ground trocar tip provide a low-profile, mechanically efficient geometry for percutaneous insertion. The trocar (triangular) point concentrates force at three apexes to reduce skiving on cortical surfaces, improving initial bite and directional control. The 1.8 mm diameter balances bending strength with minimal bone disruption; the 60 mm length gives sufficient purchase for many small-bone and metaphyseal applications without excessive protrusion.
Instrument Specifications
- Diameter: 1.8 mm
- Length: 60 mm
- Tip: Trocar point
- Primary uses: Percutaneous pinning, provisional fixation, external fixation pinning in small-bone procedures
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a precisely machined trocar point for reliable bone entry and consistent performance. Single-piece construction minimizes weak points and maintains shaft straightness during insertion.
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.
