Tension device
Will allow compression or distraction of the
fracture.
Compression
Distraction
Countersink
To cut the recess of the screw head in the bone.
The size of the tip corresponds with the core
diameter.
Depth gauge
To measure the length of the hole
Depth gauge must be adapted to screw size
Handle is calibrated with increments of 2mm
Disassemble for
maintenance
Tap
To cut the thread of the screw in the bone.
The grooves allow removal of bone debris.
Tap
Remove bone debris with a sharp hook, a K-wire
or by immersing in saline solution.
Screwdriver
Must be adapted to the recess.
Can be used with/without holding sleeve.
