Handling the Implants with a Stick

The dual-opening pedicle screws have the same head as

the pedicle, lamina and angled hooks. The following

Press the knurled release button on the upper end of the

handle (388.622), and simultaneously attach the hook

and screw holder with hexagonal 4.0 mm (388.612)

(also termed the "stick") to the handle.

2. Pick up implant

Pick up the dual-opening implant with the stick and

handle by rotating the release button on the handle.

3. Release handle from stick

Insert the implant. To release the handle from the stick,

press the release button on the handle.
