The plate
has wide varieties of the shape as straight-type, L-type, Y-type,
C-type, box-type and so on. The thickness available is in the range
of 1.0-1.4mm. |
| |
 |
The screw
has two different applications of fixing the plate and using it
individually. The thread diameter is in the range of 2.0-3.0mm
and the length is in the range of 6-24mm. |

The mesh/sheet
has the length in the range of 25-50mm and the thickness of 0.7mm
and 1.0mm. |
| Procedures to transform the OSTEOTRANS™-MX
miniplate |
OSTEOTRANS™-MX
miniplates are bendable at room temperature without warming.
When you bend miniplate to adjust the bone contour,please follow
the below procedures and examples.
|
| Usage methods (Surgical techniques) |
| OSTEOTRANS™ System
may basically be used in the same way as metallic osteosynthesis
device, but, as it's mechanical strength is inferior to metallic
devices, caution should be exercised to avoid receiving unreasonable
force. It is advisable to use the special Takiron surgical instruments
(drill bit, tap, screwdriver, and so on) that match the type and
size of the product. Screws cannot be self-tapped, so after drilling
and cleaning/suctioning, ensure that the screw is threaded into
the drilled hole of the bone using a tap. Insert the screw only
after thoroughly cleaning out the hole. To avoid screw head damage,
insert the screw with the screwdriver while applying with downward
axial-loading. |
| 1) Making a
bone contour with a template |
| (a) |
Select
the shape and size of the miniplate to use |
| (b) |
Place a template
over the region of use and make a bone contour |
| (a) |
Shape
the miniplate slowly with a pair of custom-made forceps |
| (b) |
Adjust the
bent curves to the contoured template |
|
 |
| 3) Plate fixation
with screws |
| (a) |
Drill
a guide hole with a custom-made drill bit to a depth about
1 mm shallower than the total screw length |
|
 |
| (b) |
Carefully
tap the screw hole with a custom-made tap to open it up,
then rinse out bone chips |
|
 |
| (c) |
Hold
a screw with a custom-made screwdriver and insert carefully to
fix a plate onto the bone |
- Please use an emergency screw if
adequate fixation cannot be obtained with a normal screw.
- When a screw breaks, please drill
and tap again and drive a new screw into the same hole.
