Always configure and trim the device according to the implant type and insertion location prior to loading the implant to avoid damaging the implant.
Do not use excessive force when delivering the implant. Stop if the implant does not advance using moderate pressure. Confirm that the incision and the surgical pocket are clear of obstructions and are appropriately sized for the implant. Check that the device isn’t twisted or creased in a manner that could obstruct the implant.

TROUBLESHOOTING

   2. Add 50cc of solution into the implant tray around the implant in the manner preferred.
   3. Agitate the implant in the container.
   4. Replace sterile gloves with a new pair and pour 30cc of solution over new sterile gloves.
   5. Open
   Open the device at the desired end using the supplied handles.

6. Add fluid
Inject 50cc of fluid (from a 60cc or similar syringe) into the device. Spread fluid as desired by pressing and wiping the device from the outside and ensure full solution coverage.

7a. Load – Option ‘A’
Pour implant with its sterile bath into the desired end of the device and agitate back and forth a few times to ensure implant & distal end is saturated with solution. Note orientation of the implant.

7b. Load – Option ‘B’
Depending on user preference, use your hands to adjust implant position.
