Steinmann Pin w/Trocar tip

Clinical Application

Designed for orthopaedic and trauma procedures where rapid percutaneous skeletal fixation or traction is required. This instrument facilitates insertion of a rigid pin into cortical bone for temporary stabilization, skeletal traction, external fixation frame attachment, or as an intraoperative guide pin during fracture reduction of long bones. The trocar tip allows controlled penetration of cortex without the need for extensive soft‑tissue dissection, making it useful in emergency and operative settings where speed and secure purchase are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The trocar tip geometry concentrates insertion force onto a sharp, converging point to permit reliable cortical entry and minimize the need for multiple mallet strikes. The smooth shank transmits axial load and resists bending under traction, while the straight configuration supports alignment with pin drivers and T‑handles for manual or power insertion. Choosing the appropriate diameter and length is important for load capacity and avoidance of soft‑tissue impingement; the trocar configuration simplifies initial placement and can reduce operative time compared with blunt or threaded entry tips.
