Duraface Fixation Half-Pin, Short, No-Point

Duraface short fixation half-pins are designed to maximize pin stiffness when placing ESF half-pins into shallow bone applications. Type I-b frames applied to the radius are a common example. Keeping the TRO (tapered thread-run-out) junction close to the bone maximizes the length of the larger diameter pin shaft between clamp and bone; better resisting deflection under load. Duraface short half-pins are only available in no-point (NP) versions which feature a truncated, blunt trocar that improves surgeon safety, decreases patient morbidity, and requires predrilling.
