The 9″ Steinmann Pin Smooth Single Trocar 5/32″ 6 Pack is a specialized orthopedic surgical pin designed for controlled bone penetration, skeletal traction, and selected temporary fixation procedures. With a 9-inch overall length and 5/32-inch diameter, it provides an extended working profile while maintaining a defined pin diameter for orthopedic and trauma applications.
The pin features a smooth, non-threaded shaft, providing a continuous surface along the main body of the instrument. This configuration is appropriate when a smooth Steinmann pin is preferred for the intended surgical technique. Unlike threaded versions, the smooth shaft does not depend on external threads for bone engagement, making proper selection and placement important for achieving the intended clinical result.
The single trocar point provides a focused penetrating end designed to facilitate controlled entry into bone. The trocar-style geometry can support advancement through bone when appropriate surgical equipment and technique are used. The surgeon should maintain careful control of the pin trajectory throughout insertion and select the appropriate diameter and length based on anatomy, procedure requirements, and clinical indication.
The 9-inch length offers sufficient working length for orthopedic procedures where the pin needs to extend through the target bone and provide adequate length for connection with compatible traction or fixation equipment. The 5/32-inch diameter provides a specific shaft size for procedures requiring this configuration.
Steinmann pins are commonly used in orthopedic trauma and skeletal traction applications. Depending on the surgical technique, smooth Steinmann pins may be incorporated into traction systems or used in selected temporary orthopedic stabilization procedures. Their use should be determined by a qualified orthopedic professional according to the patient’s anatomy and the requirements of the procedure.
The single trocar point is designed to provide controlled bone entry. Proper technique is essential to maintain accurate positioning and reduce the risk of unintended tissue injury. The pin should not be modified or used outside its intended application.
This product is supplied as a 6-pack, providing six individual Steinmann pins for surgical inventory. The multi-pack format can be useful for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma facilities, and healthcare settings where multiple pins may be required during skeletal traction or related procedures.
Before use, each pin should be carefully inspected for bending, surface damage, deformation, or defects affecting the trocar point. Sterility and single-use or reusable status depend on the specific product configuration and labeling. Any reusable configuration should be processed according to validated manufacturer instructions and established healthcare-facility protocols.
