Prior To Distraction (Latency Phase) - KLS Martin group Rotterdam Instrucciones De Uso

Instructions for Use
Rotterdam-Midline Distractor / Bologna-Midline Distractor
WARNING
Risk of contamination with chippings / fragments produced during processing of
osteosynthesis plates!
Long-term negative implications of metal particles that remain in the body cannot be
excluded. The osteosynthesis plates must therefore be processed in such a way that no metal
particles or chippings from the implant or the tool can enter the patient's body.
Impurities on the implant, the instruments, the surgical periphery or the surgical team (e. g.
fragments) caused by processing must be removed appropriately before any contact with the
patient.
WARNING
Danger of insufficient bone segment mobilization!
Insufficient mobilization will result in higher forces acting upon the distraction system, which
could lead to deformation or fracture of the distraction system. Therefore, please note:
The bone segments to be distracted must be mobilized prior to distraction (corticotomy or
•
complete osteotomy). To verify sufficient mobilization, an activation test must be
performed intraoperatively on the implanted distraction system. The test activation must
cover at least 2 – 3 mm and a complete osteotomy gap must be produced in the process.
Deformation of the distraction system must be prevented during the distraction process.

Prior to Distraction (Latency Phase)

Once the distraction system has been implanted, a latency period must be observed before
starting the distraction process. The length of the latency period depends on the indication and
must be determined by the surgeon. It usually covers approx. 5 – 7 days.
