Pierce Trocar

Description

Pierce Trocar

The Pierce trocar opens the maxillary sinus for washout. A sharp stylet passes the bone, and the cannula then carries fluid.

Three diameters

You can order 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 mm. The small size suits diagnostic puncture. Meanwhile, the larger sizes allow faster irrigation.

Why the Pierce trocar

Its stylet has a strong point for the bony wall. In addition, the cannula is wide enough for thick secretions. So it suits chronic sinus cases.

Where it fits

Rhinologists choose it for chronic sinus washout. Moreover, it helps when taking cultures. Typically it pairs with an irrigation syringe.

Technique

Anaesthetise the area first. Then direct the point upward and outward with steady pressure. Finally, confirm entry before flushing.

Choosing between puncture trocars

The Pierce pattern runs straight, so the angle comes from the wrist. In contrast, the Krause cannula follows a curve. Many rhinologists like that fixed angle. Therefore, surgeons who prefer a fixed angle often choose Krause, while others keep Pierce.

Pierce trocar options

• 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mm diameters
• Sharp stylet with cannula
• Reusable steel

Cleaning

Flush the cannula, then brush the bore. Wash the stylet separately and dry both. Store them together.

Why we stand behind your trocar

Every trocar goes through a hand inspection at our Atlanta site ahead of shipping. If each trocar shows a build fault, you have three years against manufacturing defects. Often bought with it is the Krause trocar. The help page handles shipping and refunds. For the basics of surgical-grade stainless, read ASTM F899. A backup trocar on standby keeps lists moving.

Intended for professional buyers. Shown images can vary a little, while the steel includes some nickel; use the cleaning and care notes for advice. Transit times sit on the shipping terms.
