Buy Skeletal Traction Pin 4.5 mm with Trocar Point
Implant 4.5 mm in diameter indicated for stable, load-bearing fracture fixation and for temporary intraoperative fixation and reduction of fragments. Implant steel 1.4441, chemically passive and non-magnetic on the surface, suitable for patients of any age.
The difference from the usual gauge is half a millimetre, but the rigidity of a pin does not grow with diameter, it grows with the fourth power of it: that half millimetre multiplies resistance to bending. This is the gauge chosen when the bone is thick and the fixation has to bear load from day one. Fifteen lengths, from 80 to 300 millimetres.
Supplied non-sterile, so the hospital can process it in its own autoclave cycle along with the rest of the instrument set. It is a single-use device: it is not reprocessed once implanted.
