The Steinman Pin is a sturdy orthopaedic fixation device used primarily in bone fracture management and skeletal traction. Made of high-quality stainless steel, the 5mm Steinman pin provides reliable stability for bone fragments during healing. It’s widely used in both human and veterinary orthopaedic surgeries.

Q: What is the purpose of a Steinman pin?

A: It is used to stabilize bone fractures through internal fixation or traction.

Q: Is the 5mm size suitable for all bones?

A: The 5mm diameter is commonly used for medium to large bones; size selection depends on fracture and bone type.

Q: Can Steinman pins be reused?

A: Some can be sterilized and reused, but often they are single-use to ensure sterility and integrity.

Q: Is the Steinman pin used in veterinary surgery?

A: Yes, it is a standard orthopaedic tool in veterinary fracture management.

Q: How is infection prevented at the pin site?

A: Through sterile technique during surgery and proper post-operative care.
