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.
