Steinmann Pin w/Trocar tip

Clinical Application

Designed for use in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive procedures, this pin provides a reliable option for establishing skeletal traction, provisional stabilization of fractures, and anchoring external fixation constructs. The trocar tip facilitates percutaneous entry through skin and soft tissue into cortical bone, allowing rapid placement in emergency and definitive care settings. Common clinical scenarios include temporary fixation during fracture reduction, placement of traction devices, and use as Schanz-type elements in external fixation assemblies.

Design & Configuration

The straight, solid geometry delivers axial stiffness and resistance to bending under load, which is critical when pins are used to transmit traction forces or act as temporary load-bearing elements. The trocar point concentrates insertion force on a sharp tip to penetrate periosteum and cortex efficiently, reducing the need for extended drilling in many cases. The simple single-piece configuration simplifies handling and removal, and is compatible with manual drivers or pin chucks for controlled insertion and extraction.
