The 9″ Steinmann Pin Smooth Single Trocar 1/8″ 6 Pack is a specialized orthopedic surgical pin designed for applications requiring controlled bone penetration, skeletal traction, and selected temporary fixation techniques. With a 9-inch overall length and 1/8-inch diameter, this Steinmann pin provides an extended working length while maintaining a relatively narrow shaft profile for procedures requiring this specific size.
The pin features a smooth, non-threaded shaft that provides a continuous external surface along its working body. Smooth Steinmann pins are commonly selected when a non-threaded pin configuration is appropriate for the intended orthopedic technique. The choice of pin diameter, length, and shaft configuration should be based on the patient’s anatomy, clinical indication, fixation or traction requirements, and surgeon preference.
A single trocar point is incorporated at the working end to provide a focused penetrating profile. The pointed configuration is designed to facilitate controlled entry into bone when used with appropriate orthopedic technique. Maintaining the correct insertion trajectory and controlling advancement are important for accurate placement and appropriate clinical use.
The 9-inch length provides useful working reach for orthopedic trauma and traction procedures where additional pin length may be required. The 1/8-inch diameter offers a defined shaft size for applications in which a smaller Steinmann pin is appropriate. Proper pin selection is essential because the required diameter and length can vary according to the bone, patient anatomy, traction requirements, and specific surgical procedure.
Steinmann pins are commonly associated with skeletal traction and may also be used in selected orthopedic stabilization and temporary fixation techniques. Depending on the procedure, a pin may be incorporated into compatible traction equipment or used as part of a temporary orthopedic construct. Clinical use should always follow established surgical technique and the recommendations applicable to the specific device and procedure.
This product is supplied as a 6-pack, providing six individual smooth Steinmann pins. A multi-pack configuration can be useful for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma departments, surgical centers, and medical facilities that require multiple pins for procedural inventory.
Before use, each pin should be inspected for visible damage, bending, deformation, surface irregularities, or damage to the trocar point. The pin should be used only for its intended clinical purpose and by appropriately trained healthcare professionals.
Sterility, single-use status, and reprocessing requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Where a reusable configuration is supplied, cleaning, disinfection, inspection, packaging, and sterilization should be performed according to validated manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols.
