Usage instructions
This section provides step by step instructions as well as safety information and recommendations for the safe and effective use of the product during surgery. Before use All instruments should be verified for proper function before each clinical use. The user must be familiar with the instrument function before clinical application. Stryker recommends the use of silicon free, non-mineral oil based lubricant for maintenance of articulated instruments
4.1
Plate/screw forceps
These forceps function as self-retaining forceps when the prongs are placed in the holes of the plate. They also allow holding of the plate in place while drilling to place the first screw.
4.2
Bender/cutter WARNING
Excessively aggressive use of bending instruments may cause recognizable macroscopic damage to the implant (indentations, elongated screw holes, etc). Deformed plate holes signify not only an increased risk of breakage in these areas but also impair the accurate fit of the screw head to the plate. Titanium hardness increases and ductility (bendability) decreases due to cold working during the bending process. This may lead to product failures such as postoperative plate fractures and therefore may lead to patient harm. XX Ensure that the desired shape of the implant is reached in as few bends as possible. XX Avoid excessive bending. XX Avoid acute angles together with small bending radii. XX Straight plates may not be used and contoured for use around the mandibular angle. XX Plates that have been severely bent and re-bent must be discarded. XX Plates with visible damages or deformed plate holes must be discarded. XX Do not use the 3-prong bender with the locking plates.
9/29
Usage instructions
WARNING Cutting the implant may reduce the stability of the implant. This may lead to product failure, injury and therefore to patient harm. XX Only cut the implant if necessary and in a way that adequate strength and fixation for the intended use is maintained. XX If the product is damaged then dispose of the product. A cut bone plate segment intended to be implanted may have sharp edges. Cutting may lead to the creation of small particles. Both may cause soft tissue injuries or irritations. XX Deburr the cut segments. XX Upon cutting a template, wipe the abrasive surface of the template and the cutting instrument clean of potential particles prior to use on the patient or use with the implants. XX Perform any required modification of the plate away from the surgical site. XX Prevent generated particles from entering the patient. Using the plate cutter may cause uncontrolled movement of the cut plate segment. This may lead to patient harm. XX Hold the unfixed portion of the plate with the forceps.
CAUTION XX Hold the plate cutter at the base of the handle to prevent any inadvertent hand pinching during operation.
4.2.1 Bender/cutter The bender/cutters are intended to be used with plates from the upper-face, mid-face and orthognathic modules. The left plate bender, marked with an L , can be used for 90° bending procedures (refer to Graphic 1). How to bend the product: XX The 1.2/1.7 mm malleable, standard, and GSP plates can be bent with the tip of the left and right plate bender and cutter. XX For bending of the 1.7 mm locking plates, the plates must be held with the dedicated pinpocket to prevent damage of the locking tip.
