Clinical Application
This trocar‑point K‑wire is intended for percutaneous and open skeletal fixation in extremity and small‑bone procedures. The 2.0 x 60 mm profile is commonly used for temporary stabilization of fractures, provisional fixation during plate or wire constructs, tension band techniques, and as a guide/pilot pin for cannulated implants in hand, wrist, foot and small long‑bone applications. The sharp trocar tip facilitates controlled entry through cortical bone with minimal initial disruption of soft tissues.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a self‑piercing, three‑facet cutting tip that eases cortical entry and improves directional control during percutaneous insertion. A smooth, straight shaft minimizes soft‑tissue drag and allows rapid advancement or withdrawal using standard wire drivers or manual chucks. The 2.0 mm diameter balances bending resistance with a low profile suitable for small‑bone fixation; the 60 mm length is sufficient for most phalangeal, metacarpal, metatarsal and distal extremity applications without excessive protrusion.
Instrument Specifications
- Type: Kirschner wire (K‑wire)
- Pattern: Trocar point (sharp, three‑facet)
- Size: 2.0 x 60 mm
- Configuration: Straight, smooth shank for percutaneous insertion
- Primary use: Temporary and definitive skeletal fixation, guide/pilot pin
- Material: Surgical stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical stainless steel to provide the surface hardness and corrosion resistance required for orthopedic fixation. The wire is formed and ground to produce a precise trocar tip and a uniform shaft diameter to maintain predictable mechanical performance during insertion and removal.
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.
