Olive Wire With Trocar Point
The Olive Wire with Trocar Point is a precision-engineered orthopedic wire used in Ilizarov and circular external fixator systems. It features a sharp three-facet trocar point at one end for efficient and accurate penetration through bone, and a fixed olive (spherical stopper) on the shaft to prevent wire migration and enable controlled bone movement. The trocar point provides smooth entry and high directional control, making it ideal for precise wire placement during complex surgical procedures. The olive—a metal bead—acts as a mechanical stop and allows the surgeon to apply compression, distraction, or angular correction forces effectively. Material: Medical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316LVM) Properties: High tensile strength Biocompatible Corrosion-resistant Autoclavable (sterilization safe) MRI-compatible
- Angular Deformity Correction – Prevents wire slippage and enables targeted force application during gradual correction.
- Bone Transport Procedures – Acts as an anchoring or pulling component during segmental bone movement.
- Prevention of Wire Migration – Olive serves as a physical stop on the far cortex of the bone.
- Fracture Stabilization in Circular Fixators – Useful in complex fracture fixation, especially in non-unions or pediatric applications.
- Compression/Distraction Mechanism – Enables asymmetric tensioning to control compression or distraction forces precisely.
- Trocar Point Tip – Sharp, triple-facet point for clean, precise bone entry.
- Fixed Olive Head – Provides mechanical stopping point for controlled correction.
- High Pull-Out Strength – Maintains position under tension.
- Compatible with All Ring Systems – Designed for use with Ilizarov or hybrid fixators.
- Multiple Diameters – Common sizes include Ø1.5mm, Ø1.8mm, Ø2.0mm.
- Tensionable – Can be tensioned post-insertion for structural stability.
