Synthes 292.65 2.0MM Threaded Guide Wire 230MM

Synthes 2.0mm Threaded Guide Wire | 230mm Length | 292.65

The Synthes 292.65 is a high-precision surgical instrument engineered for the accurate placement of cannulated screws and instruments. As a 2.0mm diameter wire with an extended 230mm length, it is a foundational component for the Synthes 4.5mm and 6.5mm Cannulated Screw Systems. This wire serves as the definitive track for cannulated drills, taps, and screws, ensuring that the final implant follows the exact trajectory intended by the surgeon.

The "Threaded" tip is a critical mechanical feature. Unlike smooth Kirschner wires (K-wires), the threaded distal segment provides active purchase in the far cortex. This "anchoring" effect prevents the wire from migrating forward during drilling or backing out during instrument exchanges, maintaining the integrity of the surgical pathway.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior Tip Stability: The threaded distal segment allows the wire to "lock" into the bone. This is particularly vital in metaphyseal or osteoporotic bone, where smooth wires may slide or displace under the pressure of a cannulated drill bit.

• Extended 230mm Reach: The 230mm length is specifically designed for "spanning" large anatomical regions, such as the femoral neck or the calcaneus. The extra length ensures that the wire remains visible and accessible outside the soft-tissue envelope even when fully seated in the bone.

• Precision Trajectory Maintenance: Forged from high-tensile stainless steel, the 292.65 resists bowing or deflection. This ensures that when a cannulated screw is passed over the wire, it follows a perfectly straight path, reducing the risk of cortical perforation.

• Multi-Functional Utility: While primarily a guide for cannulated hardware, the 2.0mm threaded wire is frequently used for temporary fragment fixation. The threads provide sufficient compression to hold a fracture reduced while definitive hardware is being prepared.

• Atraumatic Insertion: The trocar-style tip is precision-ground to cut through dense cortical bone with minimal heat generation, reducing the risk of localized thermal necrosis.

Applications

• Cannulated Screw Fixation: Primary guidance for 4.5mm, 6.5mm, and 7.3mm cannulated screws in femoral neck fractures, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and ankle arthrodesis.

• Temporary Fracture Reduction: Holding articular fragments in place during pilon or tibial plateau reconstructions.

• Suture Anchoring: Providing a stable point for soft-tissue tensioning in complex reconstructive procedures.

• ACL/PCL Reconstruction: Guidance for femoral and tibial tunnel creation in sports medicine.
