The 9″ Steinman Pin Smooth Single Trocar 3/16 6 Pack is a specialized orthopedic surgical pin designed for applications requiring controlled bone penetration, skeletal traction, and temporary orthopedic fixation. With a 9-inch overall length and 3/16-inch diameter, this Steinmann pin provides an extended working profile suitable for orthopedic and trauma procedures where dependable positioning and appropriate bone engagement are required.
The pin features a smooth shaft, providing a continuous non-threaded surface along its main body. This configuration is useful when a smooth orthopedic pin is preferred for the intended surgical technique. Unlike threaded versions, the smooth shaft does not rely on external threads for bone engagement, making selection dependent on the specific procedure, traction method, and surgeon preference.
At the working end, the single trocar point provides a focused penetrating profile designed to facilitate controlled entry into bone. The trocar geometry supports advancement through bone when appropriate surgical equipment and technique are used. Accurate placement is essential, and the pin should be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, required pin diameter, clinical indication, and orthopedic procedure.
The 9-inch length offers an extended working dimension that can be useful when the pin must pass through the intended bone structure and provide sufficient length for connection with compatible traction or fixation equipment. The 3/16-inch diameter provides a defined shaft size for procedures requiring this particular pin specification.
Steinmann pins are commonly associated with orthopedic trauma and skeletal traction. Depending on the clinical application, a smooth Steinmann pin may be incorporated into traction assemblies or used for selected temporary orthopedic stabilization techniques. The exact use should be determined by the treating orthopedic professional and established surgical protocol.
The single trocar point is intended to provide controlled bone entry while maintaining a predictable pin trajectory. During insertion, appropriate technique and compatible surgical equipment should be used to reduce the risk of unintended tissue injury or inaccurate placement. The pin should not be bent, modified, or used outside its intended application.
This product is supplied as a 6-pack, providing six individual Steinmann pins for orthopedic surgical inventory. The multi-pack format can be convenient for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma centers, and facilities where multiple pins may be required during skeletal traction or related procedures.
Before use, each pin should be inspected for bending, surface damage, deformation, or defects involving the trocar point. Sterility, single-use status, and reprocessing requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Any reusable version should be cleaned and sterilized using validated procedures according to manufacturer instructions and facility protocols.
