UNSPSC 42321513 Temporary fixation pin or wire is a Commodity code covering surgical-fixation hardware and extraction systems used in orthopedic and trauma procedures.

Issuing bodies include county hospital systems, state cooperative-purchasing entities (Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint), and state capital-project procurement offices.
