K-WIRE INTRODUCER
Product Details
Product Overview
A K-Wire Introducer is a specialized medical instrument used to guide and secure Kirschner wires (K-wires) in orthopedic and trauma surgeries. These wires are commonly employed for temporary fixation, stabilization, or alignment of fractures, particularly in extremities such as hands, wrists, feet, and ankles. The introducer simplifies the insertion process, ensuring precision and minimizing tissue damage.
