Overview

Tension Band Pin

Acumed’s Tension Band Pin System is the first interlocking solution designed to provide low-profile, secure fixation for patella, olecranon and malleolar fractures without K-wire irritation or migration.

This innovative system reduces post-surgical complications associated with traditional tension band pinning with K-wires — which often requires secondary procedures to address prominence of the K-wire at the insertion site and migration of the pin out of the bone.

Approved Indications

  • Patella, olecranon and malleolar fractures.
Key Features

Key Features

  • Secure anchoring: The wire passes through the eyelet, resulting in both effective fracture reduction and secure anchoring of pins — and eliminating migration or back-out.
  • Non-irritating: Low-profile head minimizes soft tissue irritation.
  • Straightforward application: Minimal instrumentation, point-and-drill pin placement and sterile packing for convenience in the OR.
  • Versatile: Stainless steel pins in 50mm, 70mm and 90mm lengths.
