Thin, rigid stainless steel wires are used to manufacture Kirschner wires. Used in a variety of orthopedic and plastic surgery procedures, the primary purpose of a K-wire is to hold bone fragments stable. By designing the wire ends with a drillable tip (diamond or trocar), Kirschner wires can be inserted through the skin and drilled through the bones... without actual surgery. |
