K-Steinman Pins
Key Features & Benefits:
- Versatile Tip Options:
Available with Trocar (three-sided) or Diamond (two-sided) tips for efficient penetration of both cortical and cancellous bone. - High Stability:
Provides excellent resistance to bending, making it ideal for diaphyseal fractures. - Combinable:
Frequently used in "stack pinning" or in conjunction with orthopedic cerclage wire and plates for enhanced rotational stability.

K-Steinman Pins
Precision-Engineered Dual-Diameter Pins for Advanced Orthopedic Control
The Need for Controlled Segment Rotation
During TPLO procedures, precise rotation of the proximal tibial segment is essential for proper osteotomy alignment. Surgeons often rely on a strategically placed K-wire or Steinman pin to provide leverage, but many pin drivers are incapable of holding wires much larger than 0.062”. This forces the use of bulky Jacobs chucks, slowing workflow and compromising ergonomics.
The K-Steinman Solution
DrMark.Vet’s K-Steinman Pins provide a tapered dual-diameter design that allows insertion of larger Steinman pins using smaller K-wire drivers. This eliminates the need for Jacobs chucks, improves maneuverability, and enhances rotational control during TPLO procedures.
- Tapered design fits small K-wire drivers (0.062” K-diameter)
- Larger working-end pin diameters for superior leverage
- Medical-grade 316 stainless steel for exceptional strength
- Trocar tip enhances cortical purchase and controlled insertion
- Polished shaft minimizes soft-tissue drag and improves rotational feel
Multi-Procedure Versatility
Beyond TPLO rotation control, these pins are ideal for:
- Cross-pinning procedures requiring rigid stability
- Normograde pin placement in small or short bones
- Procedures requiring strong pin leverage without full-length insertion
