A long, thin, metal rod designed to guide intramedullary canal devices for performing the implantation of an intramedullary nail to treat damaged bone. The rod is usually manually inserted into the canal to typically guide a surgical instrument (e.g., a reamer) and the implantable nail. This device is made of metal [e.g., high-grade stainless steel, titanium (Ti)] and is available in a variety of sizes, lengths, and designs (e.g., round-tip, trocar-tip, or flexible-tip). It may be used in femoral, tibial, humeral or supracondylar intramedullary canals. This is a reusable device.

The Synthes 292.72 threaded guide wire is a precision surgical tool tailored for the accurate alignment and guidance of 4.5 mm cannulated screws. At a slim 1.6 mm diameter and 150 mm length, it facilitates minimally invasive insertion with control, reducing disruption to surrounding tissues while ensuring proper trajectory during orthopedic fixation procedures.

What sets this guide wire apart is its one-end spade point, designed to penetrate bone with ease and hold firmly in place during drilling or screw insertion. This configuration helps maintain positional accuracy and minimizes the risk of slippage—crucial during delicate cases such as fracture repair or fixation of small to mid-sized bone segments.

Manufactured by DePuy Synthes and identified by its bright yellow color, the 292.72 wire integrates seamlessly into cannulated screw instrumentation sets, improving workflow clarity in the OR. Sold in both sealed and open-package formats, it offers flexibility in inventory management—providing cost-effective options for institutions balancing budgetary concerns with surgical readiness.
