The 9″ Steinmann Pin Smooth Single Trocar 3/32″ 6 Pack is an orthopedic surgical pin designed for applications requiring controlled bone penetration, skeletal traction, and selected temporary fixation techniques. Measuring 9 inches in length with a 3/32-inch diameter, this pin provides an extended working length while maintaining a relatively narrow shaft profile for procedures requiring this specific configuration.
The pin features a smooth, non-threaded shaft that provides a continuous surface along the main body. This design is commonly selected when a smooth Steinmann pin is appropriate for the intended orthopedic technique. Pin diameter and configuration should be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, clinical indication, traction requirements, and the surgeon’s preferred technique.
A single trocar point forms the working end of the pin. Its focused penetrating profile is intended to facilitate controlled entry into bone when the pin is used with appropriate orthopedic technique. Careful control of the insertion trajectory and advancement is important for achieving accurate placement and maintaining appropriate positioning throughout the procedure.
The 9-inch overall length provides useful working reach for orthopedic trauma and skeletal traction applications. The 3/32-inch diameter offers a specific shaft size for procedures where a smaller-diameter Steinmann pin is indicated. Proper selection should take into account the bone being treated, patient anatomy, intended load or traction requirements, and the specific surgical procedure.
Steinmann pins are commonly associated with skeletal traction procedures and may also be used in selected temporary orthopedic stabilization techniques. Depending on the clinical application, the pin may be incorporated into compatible traction equipment or used as part of a temporary fixation technique. Use should be determined by a qualified orthopedic professional according to established surgical protocols.
The product is supplied as a 6-pack, providing six individual Steinmann pins for surgical inventory. This format can be useful for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma departments, surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities that require multiple pins for procedures involving traction or temporary stabilization.
Before use, each pin should be inspected for bending, deformation, surface damage, or irregularities affecting the trocar point. Proper handling and insertion technique are essential for safe and controlled use. The instrument should only be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals and for its intended clinical application.
Sterility, single-use status, and reprocessing requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Where a reusable configuration is supplied, cleaning and sterilization should be performed according to validated manufacturer instructions and applicable healthcare-facility protocols.
