K'Ball® is a single use non-invasive MD designed to prevent inward migration of the protruding pin. It fits all k'wires ranging from 0,6 to 2 mm diameter, it protects the patient, the hospital staff and the surgeons from sharp k'wire end, particularly when several pins are handled in a small area.
K'Ball® is connected to the K'Ball® indistincly through its right or left cavity, whatever the pin's Ø.
K'Ball®does not require any bending of the protruding K’Wire, nor a color code system nor signpostes, as K’Ball® is handled intuitively.
K'Ball® can be locked and unlocked at will in a second during surgery without shaking the fracture line.
K'Ball® withstands repeated autoclave cycles without damaging the materials from which it is made.
K'Ball® simplifies decontamination and sterilization procedures, and reduces the volume of dressings.
Last but not least K'Ball® is an efficient healthcare solution with a minimum inventory requirement
