The Self Centering Hanau™
Springbow/Technique for Use
DO NOT tighten a clamp without first inserting a bitefork stem into
the clamp. Such action will distort the clamp and render it inoperable
or cause the bitefork stem to bind. Before each use lubricate the bite-
fork stem and the rods on which the clamps glide. Note: The Springbow
may be made sterile via steam autoclave. Place the bitefork with regis-
tration material in the patient's mouth.
