Clinical Application
This trocar-point K-wire is designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation in orthopedic and trauma procedures. It is commonly used for provisional reduction and stabilization of small- to medium-sized bone fragments, fragment capture during internal fixation, pinning in hand, wrist and foot surgery, and as an element of external fixation constructs or skeletal traction. The 2.2 x 120 mm size suits applications requiring moderate axial length while maintaining a slim profile for diminished cortical disruption.
Design & Configuration
The straight, smooth-shaft geometry minimizes soft-tissue drag on insertion and removal, while the trocar point tip is ground to penetrate cortical bone efficiently without the need for an initial pilot hole in many cases. The trocar tip provides predictable bite and centering during entry, reducing skive and allowing controlled placement under fluoroscopic guidance. Shaft diameter and length are selected to balance fixation strength against risk of stress risers in smaller bones.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire) pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Size: 2.2 x 120 mm
- Tip: Trocar point tip for cortical penetration
- Configuration: Straight, smooth shaft
- Typical use: Percutaneous fixation, provisional stabilization, external fixation
- Material: Medical-grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel with a precision-ground trocar tip. The one-piece wire construction and smooth finish facilitate passage through soft tissue and cortical bone while supporting fluoroscopic visualization. The trocar geometry is optimized for controlled cortical entry and reliable purchase in cancellous bone.
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.
