Ilizarov Wire With Bayonet Point
The Ilizarov Wire with Bayonet Point is a thin, high-tensile stainless steel wire designed for use in circular external fixator systems, specifically the Ilizarov apparatus. What sets this version apart is its bayonet-shaped tip—a uniquely angled and pointed end that allows for smooth bone penetration with minimal trauma and precise directional control.
The bayonet point improves ease of insertion, particularly during transosseous wire placement, by reducing slippage and offering better grip through cortical bone. These wires are tensionable, providing structural stability and support for limb lengthening, fracture fixation, or deformity correction.
Material:
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316LVM or equivalent)

High tensile strength
Excellent biocompatibility
Corrosion-resistant
MRI-safe
Autoclavable
- Limb Lengthening Procedures – Used in distraction osteogenesis with Ilizarov or hexapod frames.
- Fracture Fixation – Transfixes bone segments in complex, comminuted, or non-union fractures.
- Deformity Correction – Corrects angular, rotational, or length discrepancies in limbs.
- Circular Fixation Frames – Integral to the stability and function of ring-based external fixator systems.
- Pediatric Orthopedic Procedures – Often used due to their minimally invasive and low-profile nature.
- Bayonet Point Tip – Angled design for better directional control and penetration.
- Smooth Surface Finish – Reduces soft tissue irritation and infection risk.
- High Strength & Flexibility – Supports tensioning without deformation.
- Multiple Diameter Options – Typically available in Ø1.5mm, Ø1.8mm, Ø2.0mm.
- Cuttable Lengths – Easily trimmed to required length post-insertion.
- Sterile or Non-Sterile Supply – Available based on surgical needs.
