Tapered Threaded Pin Introducer
+ Description
The Tapered Threaded Pin Introducer is a specialized orthopedic instrument designed to facilitate the manual or powered insertion of tapered threaded pins into cortical or cancellous bone. It securely engages the threaded end of the pin, ensuring precise axial alignment and reducing the risk of slippage or misplacement during pin placement. This tool is essential in external fixation procedures where accurate and stable pin positioning is critical.
Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel (AISI 410 / 420 / 17-4 PH)
Properties:
High tensile strength
Corrosion-resistant
Biocompatible
Autoclavable
Precision-machined tip for secure pin engagement
+ Indications
- Pin Insertion in External Fixation: Facilitates the accurate and safe insertion of tapered threaded pins (e.g., Ø4.5–3.5MM) into bone for external fixation systems. Ensures firm grip and torque control during placement.
- Axial Alignment of Pins: Helps maintain precise pin trajectory, reducing chances of cortical breach or misalignment. Critical for ensuring parallel pin placement in frames like Ilizarov or monolateral fixators.
- Minimally Invasive Pin Placement: Supports percutaneous insertion of pins through soft tissue into bone with minimal trauma. Compatible with image-guided or freehand techniques.
- Prevents Cross-Threading: Its guided engagement minimizes the risk of thread stripping or cross-threading, which can compromise fixation.
- Assists in Pre-drilled or Self-drilling Pin Use: Whether pins are inserted with or without pre-drilling, the introducer offers better control, especially in dense cortical bone.
- Compatible with Manual or Powered Tools: Can be used with T-handles or connected to powered surgical drivers, improving efficiency during high-volume cases.
+ Key Features
- Secure Pin Engagement: Threads into or grips the proximal end of tapered threaded pins for confident insertion.
- Ergonomic Handle or Driver Interface: Allows use with manual T-handles or powered surgical drivers.
- Compatible Tip Geometry: Designed to match the specific taper and thread pattern of pins like Ø4.5–3.5MM cortical shaft tapered pins.
- Prevents Wobble or Misalignment: Maintains axial control and stability throughout insertion.
- Reusable and Durable: Withstands repeated sterilization and use in various orthopedic procedures.
