Profile: Westcon Orthopedics specializes in manufacturing K-caps. Our K-cap is a protective capping for both intraoperative and external orthopedic wires. The caps are designed by orthopedic surgeons for patient safety and ease of use. Our patented self-locking mechanism, available on most models, eliminates corks, bulky bandages, patient complaints about caps falling off and constant searching for extra tools such as screwdrivers, Allen wrenches and crimping tools. Our K-Cap fits all sizes and brands of Kirschner wires. Our caps are available in four types such as K-cap-E, K-cap-ES, K-cap-P and K-cap-I. Our K-cap-E is a non-sterile cap and K-Cap-ES are sterile. The K-cap-E and K-Cap-ES are our color-coded self-locking caps designed to securely fit on all externalized K-wires. The color-coding is useful for easy size identification and the knurled shape allows for easier handling, even when wearing surgical gloves. Our K-cap-P is a non-sterile cap, which is a color-coded cap designed for all larger sizes of Steinman Pins and most external fixation wires. Our K-Cap-I is a sterile cap which is designed for intraoperative use and protects the surgeon and staff from cuts and punctures when placing multiple wires in a small field. We also manufacture knee high-graduated compression hosiery.

The company was founded in 1989, has revenues of < USD 1 Million.
