Product Overview
Designed to aim and control the placement of the flexible k-wires when they contact hard cortical bone, while protecting the neurovascular structures from the spinning wire
The ends of the guide are smooth and can be passed through skin and tissue with less danger to neurovascular structures. Narrow guides are 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.
