Tension Band Pin System

Overview

The Acumed Tension Band Pin System is an interlocking solution designed to provide low-profile, secure fixation for patella, olecranon, and malleolar fractures without K-wire irritation or postoperative pin migration. This innovative solution can reduce post-surgical complications associated with traditional tension band pinning with K-wires - which can often require a second surgery for revisions.

Indications for Use
The Acumed Tension Band Pin System is intended to be used in tension band wiring procedures addressing malleolar, patellar, and olecranon fractures.

Tension Band Pin System Procedures

The Tension Band Pin System can be used in the following procedures:

Key Features

  • Secure anchoring

    The wire passes through the eyelet of the pin, a feature implemented for fracture reduction and secure anchoring—intended to reduce the likelihood of pin migration or back-out.

  • Low-profile

    The low-profile head is designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation.

  • Straightforward application

    Point-and-drill pin placement. Tail can be broken with Tension Band Pin Snapper or forceps.

  • Eyelet design intended for secure anchoring

    And to minimize pin migration.

  • Options

    Stainless steel pins available in sterile and non-sterile options.
