Implants for osteosynthesis. Skeletal pins and wires -- Specification for general requirements
This Section of BS 3531 specifies basic requirements for skeletal pins and wires, made of wrought austenitic stainless steel, wrought cobalt-chromium-tungsten-nickel alloy or of wrought titanium alloy, used in orthopaedic surgery.
Provision is made for:
skeletal pins used for skeletal traction and in compression clamps, e.g. Steinmann pins;
skeletal wires used for skeletal traction and fixation, e.g. Kirschner wires;
guide wires used to aid the insertion of other devices such as cannulated hip nails;
fixation and threaded pins and wires, used for the fixation of displaced upper femoral epiphysis or in the treatment of fractures.
**Requirements for skeletal pins (e.g., Steinmann pins), wires (e.g., Kirschner wires), and guide wires with graduation marks (e.g., for insertion of cannulated hip nails).**
**Requirements for fixation and threaded pins and wires.**
