Clinical Application
This trocar-point K-wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic and trauma procedures. The 2.0 x 160 mm dimension is commonly used for fixation of small- to medium-sized bones (for example, metacarpals, phalanges, distal radius fragments and select foot bones), temporary fragment control during open reduction internal fixation, and assembly of external fixation constructs. Percutaneous insertion enables minimal soft-tissue disruption and rapid placement under fluoroscopic guidance for fracture reduction and stabilization.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, penetrating tip designed to cut cortical bone at the entry point, allowing controlled percutaneous insertion without the need for an initial drill in many indications. The smooth, uniformly round shaft facilitates passage through soft tissue and bone, reduces tissue drag, and enables easy engagement with standard cannulated drills, pin drivers, and external fixation clamps. The 160 mm length offers reach for deeper constructs while the 2.0 mm diameter balances bending resistance with low-profile fixation.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire) trocar point pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Configuration: Smooth shaft with penetrating trocar tip
- Size: 2.0 x 160 mm
- Typical use: Percutaneous skeletal fixation, fracture pinning, temporary fixation, external fixation assembly
- Material: Stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from precision-formed stainless steel to provide strength and corrosion resistance appropriate for orthopedic fixation. The trocar point is ground to enable predictable cortical entry. Designed for compatibility with standard pin drivers, cannulated instruments, and external fixation components commonly used in operative orthopedic settings.
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.
