The 9″ Steinman Pin Smooth Double End Trocar 5/64 6 Pack is a specialized orthopedic surgical pin designed for procedures requiring controlled bone penetration, skeletal traction, or temporary orthopedic positioning. Measuring 9 inches in length with a 5/64-inch diameter, this slender Steinmann pin provides an extended working length while maintaining a relatively small shaft profile for applications requiring a fine orthopedic pin.
The pin features a smooth shaft, providing a continuous surface without external threading along the shaft. This configuration distinguishes it from threaded Steinmann pins and may be selected when a smooth pin profile is appropriate for the intended surgical technique. The double trocar design provides pointed working ends at both ends of the pin, allowing the instrument to be oriented according to procedural requirements.
Trocar-point Steinmann pins are designed to provide controlled penetration into bone when used with appropriate surgical technique and equipment. The pointed geometry supports advancement through bone while helping the surgeon maintain a controlled trajectory. Accurate placement remains essential, and the appropriate pin size and configuration should be selected based on the patient’s anatomy, clinical indication, and surgeon preference.
The 9-inch overall length provides sufficient working length for a range of orthopedic applications and can be useful when the pin must extend through or beyond the target bone structure for connection with compatible traction or fixation equipment. The 5/64-inch diameter offers a narrow pin profile for applications where a smaller-diameter orthopedic pin is appropriate.
The double-ended configuration can provide procedural convenience by allowing either end to serve as the working point. This design can be particularly useful in surgical environments where controlled pin placement and efficient instrument handling are important. The smooth shaft should be handled carefully during placement and should not be used outside the clinical technique for which the selected pin size and configuration are appropriate.
This product is supplied as a 6-pack, providing six individual Steinmann pins for orthopedic surgical inventory. A multiple-piece configuration can be convenient for facilities performing trauma, orthopedic, and skeletal traction procedures where more than one pin may be required.
Before use, each pin should be inspected for damage, bending, surface defects, or compromised trocar points. The pin should be used only by appropriately trained healthcare professionals following established orthopedic surgical protocols. Sterility, single-use status, and reprocessing requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Any reusable configuration should be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized using validated procedures.
The 9″ Steinmann Pin Smooth Double End Trocar 5/64″ 6 Pack combines an extended 9-inch length, narrow 5/64-inch diameter, smooth shaft, and double trocar-point configuration for professional orthopedic applications requiring controlled bone engagement.
