Miniature INTERFACE® ESF Half-pins
Most commonly used with acrylic frame fixators on toy breeds, avian patients, and small exotic pets, these pins have trocar points on both the smooth and threaded ends. The central area of the pin shaft is factory-roughened to enhance the interface between the acrylic frame and pin. This central area is not a thread, and attempts to use this implant as a full-pin are contraindicated. Nomenclature is based on the smooth shaft diameter.
When pre-drilling is desired in the absence of the proper drill bit, one can pre-drill with a K-wire one size smaller than the shaft diameter of the pin. However, K-wires dull rapidly and generate excess heat - so drill slowly and replace the K-wire frequently.
These pins are also frequently used with repair of maxillary and mandibular fractures in small animal patients.
Sold in packages of 6 except part number 03094.
