A medical device for placement in an incision. The medical device includes a cannula member configured to be inserted into the incision. The medical device also includes a guide wire holding member having a base member connected to the cannula member. Wall members are connected to said base member and form an open channel along said cannula member. A guide wire or fixation pin can be inserted into the guide wire holding member. The guide wire holding member can be configured as an open c-shaped channel or a plurality of curled tabs to hold the guide wire. The various configurations of the guide wire holding member can be constructed without the use of tapered or flared pins in an injection molding manufacturing process.
