Brasseler KM172-24-54S Smooth Kirschner Wire Double Trocar 0.054 Inch x 4.0 Inch - New

Peter Brasseler KM172-24-54S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) | 0.054 Inch (1.4 mm) Outer Diameter | 4.0 Inch (101.6 mm) Length | Double Trocar 3-Sided Point | 316L Stainless Steel | New

The Peter Brasseler KM172-24-54S Smooth Kirschner Wire (K-Wire) is a precision-machined, medium-gauge structural pinning and mechanical alignment rod engineered for orthopaedic bone surrogate fixation, mechanical axial guidance, material penetration testing, and structural joint modeling. Featuring a 0.054 inch (1.4 mm) nominal outer diameter and a 4.0 inch (101.6 mm) overall length, this component is centerless-ground from 316L implant-grade stainless steel (ASTM F138) to ensure high yield strength, uniform bending resistance, and complete chemical inertness. The dual-ended Double Trocar configuration features 3-sided ground cutting points at both extremities, allowing reversible insertion, bi-directional chucking, and effortless penetration into dense synthetic substrates or testing fixtures. It serves as an ideal component for mechanical load evaluations, drill guidance calibration, orthopaedic technique demonstrations, and laboratory research setups.
