Jurgan Pin Ball® and Jurgan Fixator Ball® Instructions

Jurgan Pin Ball® and Jurgan Fixator Ball® Instructions

Jurgan Pin Balls® protectively cap the protruding ends of various sized smooth or threaded Kirschner wires. They will guard against the painful snagging of clothing and bed covers - common with wire end bent at a right angle. They will largely prevent the unplanned inward migration and disappearance of wire ends - occasionally complicating taping and corking methods.
Jurgan Pin Balls® are sold non-sterile and should be steam sterilized. Certified Sterilization processes include:
 
      exposure
method cycle temperature time (min)
