Product Overview

Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) Threaded Tip are metallic wire (stainless steel) sharpened one or both side, are used to hold bone fragments together (pin fixation) or to provide an anchor for skeletal traction.

K wire is now widely used in orthopedics and other types of medical surgery. These wires can be drilled through the bone to hold the fragments in place. They can be placed percutaneously or can be buried beneath the skin.

K-wires are often used to stabilize a broken bone and can be removed in the office once the fracture has healed. Some K-wires are threaded, which helps prevent movement or backing out of the wire, although that can also make them more difficult to remove.
