Engineered to precise ASME and ISO medical standards. Our implants feature ultra-sharp Trocar and Diamond cut points designed for smooth cortical bone insertion with minimal thermal necrosis.
In modern orthopedic trauma surgery, Steinmann Pins (ranging from 2.0mm to 5.0mm in diameter) play a critical role as temporary skeletal traction anchors, intraoperative reduction aids, and main stabilizing elements in external fixation frames. Achieving rigid cortical engagement without micro-fracturing or heat-induced tissue necrosis requires rigorous dimensional tolerances, biocompatible alloy selection, and tip bevel optimization.
Our manufacturing facility produces Steinmann Pins in two distinct distal cutting geometries optimized for specific surgical approaches in trauma care:
Sharma Orthopedic manufactures Steinmann pins utilizing implant-grade materials compliant with strict international standards for surgical devices inserted into bone matrix.

Established in 1992, Sharma Orthopedic has expanded from a specialized precision workshop into a global OEM giant delivering world-class implants to over 50 countries.
Utilizing state-of-the-art Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes and multi-axis Integrax machining centers, we achieve micron-level concentricity (±0.01mm) on every Steinmann pin, ensuring zero rotational wobble during surgical placement.
Our production line includes an ISO Class 7 (Class 10,000) controlled cleanroom environment for ultrasonic cleaning, passivation, and sterile packaging under stringent regulatory oversight by 8 dedicated RA/QA specialists.
We supply complete Steinmann pin instrument sets—including drill sleeves, hand reamers, traction bows, pin cutters, and sterilizable storage containers—providing trauma centers with a turnkey surgical system.
The healthcare landscape in Chile presents distinct procurement demands across public healthcare networks (FONASA - Fondo Nacional de Salud), private hospital groups (Isapres), and regional emergency response units. Sharma Orthopedic tailors its Steinmann pin export packages to match these specialized environments.
Major traumatology hubs in Chile—such as Hospital Traumatológico de Santiago, Hospital Carlos van Buren in Valparaíso, and Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente in Concepción—require cost-effective, high-volume skeletal traction supplies with guaranteed sterile barrier longevity.
Sharma Orthopedic supplies bulk-packaged non-sterile and peel-pouch sterile Steinmann pins in standard lengths (150mm to 300mm) that seamlessly integrate into public tender contracts under Chile's Mercado Público platform.
Northern Chile's mining corridor experiences severe high-energy blunt trauma requiring rapid emergency stabilization before definitive open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) can be performed.
Our heavy-duty 4.5mm and 5.0mm Stainless Steel 316LVM Steinmann pins serve as robust distal femoral traction pins or primary pins in temporary spanning external fixator frames, engineered to withstand high torque loads without permanent deformation.
Private clinical networks like Clínica Las Condes, Clínica Alemana, and Clínica Santa María emphasize minimally invasive pediatric fracture management and limb lengthening protocols.
We supply smooth and central-threaded 2.0mm to 3.0mm Titanium Steinmann pins that reduce thermal periosteal reaction and optimize soft tissue compliance during distal radius or pediatric femoral traction.
In regions such as O'Higgins and Maule, specialized equine and small animal veterinary centers require durable, autoclavable Steinmann pin kits for fracture reduction in large animals and pets.
Sharma Orthopedic provides 300-piece and 500-piece stainless steel pin sets complete with dedicated trocars and pin drivers designed specifically for veterinary surgical protocols.
Chile stands as one of the most mature medical device markets in Latin America. Distributors and healthcare institutions sourcing orthopedic hardware are adapting to key industry transformations:
The Chilean ISP has tightened enforcement regarding medical device imports under Decreto Supremo N° 825/98. Foreign manufacturers must provide complete ISO 13485 certification, CE Certificates of Conformity, and batch-specific material test reports (MTR). Sharma Orthopedic supplies full regulatory dossiers to expedite Chilean ISP clearance.
To mitigate rising healthcare costs, Chilean hospital procurement boards are bypassing expensive European and North American brand markups. Sourcing directly from certified Indian manufacturers yields 40%–60% cost savings without compromising clinical outcomes.
With direct shipping lanes to major Chilean ports—such as Puerto de Valparaíso and Puerto de San Antonio—and air freight directly to Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), express orders reach Santiago distributors within 5 to 7 business days.
Clear, factual answers regarding importing, regulatory compliance, custom sizing, and commercial terms for the Chilean market.
