Kirschner Wire (K-Wire)

Specification

Description

Kirschner Wires (K-wires) are precision-engineered orthopedic fixation devices made from high-strength medical-grade stainless steel. Designed for temporary or permanent stabilization of bone fragments, they are widely used in trauma, hand, and reconstructive surgeries. Available in diameters from 0.8mm to 3.0mm, K-wires can be supplied with trocar, ball, or threaded tips, smooth or threaded surfaces, and multiple length options. With excellent corrosion resistance, smooth surface finish, and high tensile strength, these wires ensure secure fixation, easy insertion, and reliable clinical performance in orthopedic procedures.

Advantages

Smooth surface for minimal tissue trauma and easy insertion.
Available in multiple diameters and lengths for different surgical needs.
Corrosion-resistant and sterilizable for repeated surgical use.
Customizable tip types: trocar, ball, or threaded for versatile applications.

Applications

• Fixation of small bone fractures (phalanges, metacarpals, distal radius).
• Temporary stabilization of bone fragments during surgery.
• Guide wires for cannulated screws and intramedullary nails.
• Skeletal traction and use in external fixation systems.
