K'Ball® Universal Pin Cap
for percutaneous pinning
- K'Ball is a non-invasive DM Class 1 with low criticality. It prevents the protruding tip of the pin from being buried and attaches intuitively in ± 15 seconds to all⍉ of pins from 0.6 to 2 mm.
- K'Ball It is mainly used in percutaneous pinning treatments of closed fractures of distal upper and lower limbs, lower and upper extremities of the radius, carpal bones, clavicle and neck of the 5emetacarpal.
- K'Ballprotects the patient from unexpected snagging of the angled tip of the pin, the nursing staff and the surgeon from the sharp points of the pins, particularly when several are handled in the same confined space.
- K'Ballwithstands nearly 200 autoclave sterilizations, but tends to yellow after about a hundred procedures.
- K'Ball does not require color coding, arrows, or a 90° bend in the protruding tip of the pin, an outdated and time-consuming procedure criticized by the vast majority of surgeons.
- K'Ball is crossed in its polar axis by a thread inside which an insert is fixed.
- A lifes hollow hexagonal headless placed in an emerging thread at right angles to the equatorial line of the K'Ball with respect to the center of said polar axis, with the aim of compacting said insert using an MSF screwdriver, concurrently stabilizing the insert and the protruding tip of the pin that it grips, like a vice.
- K'Ball reduces to 1 device the superfluous sizes that the competition's concepts impose, thus simplifying stock management and decontamination and sterilization procedures.
- The handleof the MSF screwdriver is covered with a surfaceknurled which has the property of transmitting through the traumatologist's gloved hand the variations in the clamping force exerted in real time.
