DRILL WIRE MODULE
A new spin on traditional K-wires
Standard Trocar Tip Wires are prone to bending, skiving and sometimes burning the bone on insertion. With the Smith & Nephew DRILL WIRE MODULE, the drill tip guide wire enables a more precise, faster insertion while generating less heat.
- Composed of high-quality cobalt chrome – increases stiffness and precise trajectory during entry
- Drill tip is sharp and edges of the flutes act as cutting surfaces – initiates hole formation quickly
- Less opportunity for wire chatter and wandering

- 96% decrease in insertion time
- Helical flute helps pull the wire through the bone – augmenting the force applied to the driving end of the wire
- 56% decrease in maximum temperature generated upon entry when compared to Trocar Tip Wires*
- Visual decrease in the distance of heat transmitted radially – reducing the amount of bone damage
