Clinical Application
This trocar-point 2.5 x 140 mm Kirschner wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic procedures. Common uses include temporary fixation of fractures, fragment reduction during internal fixation, construction of temporary skeletal traction, and fixation in hand, wrist, foot and pediatric applications where a slender rigid pin is required for transosseous stabilization.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, three-sided profile designed to penetrate cortical bone with minimal need for pre-drilling, allowing efficient percutaneous placement. The straight, smooth shaft balances bending stiffness with a slim profile to minimize soft-tissue disruption and ease insertion and removal. The 140 mm length affords sufficient working length for crossing deep segments or accommodating external fixation constructs while the 2.5 mm diameter provides a compromise between axial strength and reduced bone removal.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Kirschner wire (K-wire) pin
- Pattern / model: Trocar point
- Configuration: Straight, smooth shaft
- Size: 2.5 x 140 mm (diameter x length)
- Tip: Trocar (sharp penetrating) tip
