Ilizarov Olive Wire Bayonet Point

Accordion Hover Style
+ Description

The Ilizarov Olive Wire with Bayonet Point is a specialized orthopedic wire designed for enhanced soft tissue control and secure bone fixation in Ilizarov external fixator systems. Constructed from medical-grade Stainless Steel, this wire features a fixed “olive” (spherical stop) near the pointed end to prevent migration through bone and soft tissues. The bayonet-shaped trocar tip ensures smooth insertion through cortical bone while the olive helps apply compressive or distractive forces precisely at the desired anatomical site, making it invaluable for deformity correction, nonunion management, and segmental transport procedures.

+ Indications
  • Segmental Bone Transport : Prevents wire translation while moving bone segments during reconstruction.
  • Angular Deformity Correction : Facilitates targeted correction in multiplanar osteotomies.
  • Nonunion Management : Provides compressive force at fracture or osteotomy sites for improved healing.
  • Limb Lengthening Procedures : Enhances control in distraction osteogenesis.
  • Soft Tissue Retraction & Control : Prevents migration in high-tension areas near tendons or neurovascular structures.
