Schanz Bone Screw w/Trocar tip

Clinical Application

Schanz bone screws with a trocar tip are used to establish secure skeletal purchase for external fixation and temporary stabilization in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive procedures. The trocar point facilitates percutaneous entry through soft tissue and cortical bone, enabling placement for external frame attachment, temporary traction, or as a stabilizing pin during reduction and fixation. These pins are commonly used by trauma surgeons and in ambulatory surgery centers for limb fractures, deformity correction, and any indication requiring rigid pin-to-frame anchorage.

Design & Configuration

A sharp trocar tip provides a defined, cutting point that eases initial penetration and reduces soft-tissue drag during insertion. The shaft is threaded to achieve cortical purchase and axial stability once seated in bone, while the proximal head profile is configured to interface with external-fixator clamps and connectors. This geometry supports predictable insertion torque, secure fixation under loading, and straightforward removal when fixation is no longer required.

Instrument Specifications

• Trocar tip for percutaneous cortical entry
• Threaded shaft to secure purchase in cortical bone
• Proximal head profile designed for external-fixator clamp engagement
• Surgical‑grade stainless steel construction
• Reusable and sterilizable

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. The trocar tip is machined to provide a sharp, durable point for controlled bone penetration. Overall construction balances torsional strength and biocompatibility for temporary implant use in external fixation systems.

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.
