Product Overview
Designed to aim and control the placement of flexible k-wires when they contact hard cortical bone, while helping to protect neurovascular structures from the spinning wire
Narrow guide is ideal for wrist surgery such as distal radius fractures, intercarpal fusions, carpal dislocations, etc., where K-wires must be inserted from angles not accessible through the initial incision. The guides can be inserted through appropriately placed small peripheral incisions and placed on the bone with direct vision from the primary incision. The K wire is then passed through the guide, helping to protect adjacent soft tissue structures. The two prongs on the end of the inserter help to gain a purchase in the bone to help prevent the unit from slipping.
