Peter Brasseler KM172-24-62S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) | 0.062 Inch (1.6 mm) Outer Diameter | 4.0 Inch (101.6 mm) Length | Double Trocar 3-Sided Point | 316L Stainless Steel | New

Expiration: 2030-11-14

The Peter Brasseler KM172-24-62S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) is a precision-ground, high-rigidity structural pinning and mechanical alignment rod engineered for orthopaedic bone surrogate fixation, mechanical axial guidance, material penetrometry testing, and structural joint modeling. Featuring a 0.062 inch (1.6 mm) nominal outer diameter and a 4.0 inch (101.6 mm) overall length, this component is precision-machined from 316L implant-grade stainless steel (ASTM F138) to provide high yield strength, minimal axial flexing, and superior chemical resistance. The dual-ended Double Trocar configuration features 3-sided ground cutting points at both extremities, allowing reversible penetration, bi-directional chucking, and rapid insertion into high-density synthetic substrates or test fixtures. It serves as an ideal component for mechanical load testing, drill guidance calibration, orthopaedic technique demonstrations, and laboratory research setups.
