The 9″ Steinman Pin Threaded Single Diamond 3/16 6 Pack is a specialized orthopedic surgical pin designed for applications involving skeletal traction, bone stabilization, and temporary orthopedic fixation. With a 9-inch overall length and 3/16-inch diameter, this pin provides a substantial working length for procedures where controlled placement and secure engagement with bone are required.
The threaded configuration is designed to provide mechanical engagement with bone when appropriately positioned. The single diamond point provides a focused penetrating profile that supports controlled insertion into bone during orthopedic procedures. The combination of a threaded shaft and pointed working end makes this type of Steinmann pin useful in situations where secure purchase and controlled traction are important.
Steinmann pins are commonly associated with orthopedic and trauma procedures involving skeletal traction. Depending on the surgical technique and clinical indication, they may be incorporated into traction systems or used as part of temporary fixation strategies. Proper selection of pin diameter, length, thread configuration, and point design should be based on the patient’s anatomy, procedure requirements, and surgeon preference.
The 9-inch length provides an extended working profile that can be useful when additional pin length is required for positioning or connection to traction equipment. The 3/16-inch diameter offers a defined balance between pin size and mechanical handling characteristics. The threaded design may assist with maintaining engagement once the pin has been appropriately placed.
The single diamond point is designed to facilitate controlled bone penetration. During use, appropriate surgical technique and equipment should be employed to minimize unnecessary tissue trauma and maintain accurate pin placement. The pin should be inspected before use to ensure that the point, threads, and shaft are free from visible damage or deformation.
This 6-pack configuration provides multiple pins for surgical inventory and procedural requirements. Packaging quantity is particularly convenient for orthopedic facilities that regularly use Steinmann pins in trauma, traction, or fixation procedures.
The 9″ Steinmann Pin Threaded Single Diamond 3/16″ should be handled and used by trained orthopedic professionals according to established surgical protocols. If supplied as a sterile or single-use product, it should be managed according to its labeling and manufacturer instructions. Any applicable sterilization or reprocessing requirements should be followed precisely rather than assumed from the product type.
