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 countersink) 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.
Specific usage procedure
How to insert screws
1 Drilling: Drill a hole of suitable depth with a custom-made drill bit after repositioning and temporarily fixating the bone fragments.
2 Cleaning/suction: Use suction to remove bone debris from the hole.
3 Tapping: Tap a screw into the drilled hole to a suitable depth using a custom-made tap.
4 Cleaning/suction: Use suction to remove bone debris from the hole after inserting the screw.
5 Insertion (fixation): Carefully insert the screw with a custom-made screwdriver to fixate the bone fragments.
* Use a countersink when burying the head of the screw into the bone.
How to insert pins
1 Drilling: Drill a hole of suitable depth with a custom-made drill bit after repositioning and temporarily fixating the bone fragments.
2 Cleaning/suction: Use suction to remove bone debris from the hole.
3 Insertion (fixation): Carefully insert the pin with a custom-made pin pusher to fixate the bone fragments.
