Tension Band Pin System
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.

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.
