A wire intended for the fixation of bone fractures that may be implanted or used short-term (e.g., to hold a plate in the correct position during an intervention). It may be used: 1) as a cerclage wire to aid bone fixation; 2) in a loop or figure-of-eight configuration to reattach, e.g., the tip of the elbow (olecranon), tibial tubercle, or greater trochanter; 3) to augment bone screw/plate fixation; or 4) as a Kirschner wire or K-Wire to stiffen (arthrodese) a toe or finger. It is made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr)], and may be malleable or rigid; some types include a nut designed to be attached to the wire to prevent wire migration. This is a single-use device.

The Synthes 292.20 Kirschner Wire is a versatile orthopedic instrument essential for various surgical procedures. At 2.0 mm in diameter and 150 mm in length, it offers the precision required for applications ranging from temporary fixation and fracture alignment to reinforcing plate constructs. Its trocar point tip is specifically designed to smoothly penetrate cortical bone, ensuring accurate placement with minimal tissue distortion and enhanced control during insertion.

Constructed of robust stainless steel and manufactured for single-use applications, the 292.20 emphasizes both strength and safety. Once sterilized, it serves as a dependable tool for securing small bone fragments, enabling clinicians to stabilize structures during brief procedures or as a supplementary anchoring method. Its single-use design safeguards against cross-contamination—critical in sterile OR environments where patient safety is paramount.
