Kirschner Wire Trocar Point Pin 2.2x160mm

Clinical Application

Designed for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopaedic procedures, this trocar-point pin is used for fracture pinning, temporary fixation during internal fixation, and as part of external fixation constructs. Its profile is appropriate for procedures on the hand, wrist, forearm, foot, ankle and other extremity applications where a small-diameter, high-strength pin is required. Intended for insertion under fluoroscopic or radiographic guidance to achieve accurate placement with minimal soft-tissue disruption.

Design & Configuration

The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, cutting tip that facilitates controlled penetration of cortical bone without the need for extensive pre-drilling, reducing insertion force and minimizing skiving. A straight, smooth shaft limits soft-tissue snagging and eases percutaneous advancement; the 2.2 mm diameter balances bending resistance and low-profile bone purchase, while the 160 mm length accommodates typical extremity fixation needs and allows for trimming or bending when required for provisional constructs. The smooth, continuous shaft also permits secure engagement in clamps or external fixation housings.
