3. Determine implant size
Distract the affected segment using the parallel Spreader
Forceps (389.187 or 389.188).
The scale on the handle indicates the height of the
defect.
Alternatively, the Calliper for Corpectomy (389.186)
can be used to determine the height of the defect.
When determining the implant size:
• Add a total of 3 mm to the mesh height if using
round end rings
• Add a total of 7 mm to the mesh height if using
oblong end rings
