x10 carbide bur 0.9 x 16mm (TCT09 016) - Meisinger (36TCT09016) - Delynov

What is the Meisinger 0.9 x 16mm (TCT09 016) screw?

The Meisinger TCT09 016 screw is a precision osteosynthesis device designed by Hager & Meisinger GmbH. Manufactured from grade 5 titanium alloy, this micro fixation screw features a core diameter of 0.9 mm and a length of 16.0 mm. It is distinguished by a low-profile head to minimize bulk under soft tissues and a Torx-type connection. This technical configuration allows for a secure hold in the driving tool and permits the transmission of significant traction forces during placement. It is an integral part of the Screw System TX Professional, a recognized solution for bone management in implant surgery.

What are the clinical indications for this dental micro fixation screw?

This dental micro fixation screw is indicated for the universal fixation of autologous bone graft material. It is specifically used to stabilize cylindrical grafts, bone blocks, or external bone walls (lamellae). Its use is part of pre-implantology augmentation protocols, whether for horizontal, vertical, or three-dimensional reconstructions. By ensuring strict immobilization of the transplant against the recipient site, it promotes the osseointegration necessary before implant placement. It is suitable for clinical situations requiring a length of 16 mm, typically encountered in the Meisinger Screw System TX Professional.

What are the technical characteristics of the osteosynthesis screw 0 9?

The osteosynthesis screw 0 9 (reference 36TCT09016) presents rigorous specifications for oral surgery. Its 0.9 mm diameter is complemented by a total length of 16 mm. The grade 5 titanium design guarantees optimal biocompatibility and high mechanical resistance. One of its major features is the Torx socket, which ensures perfect stability between the screw and the screwdriver, preventing any stripping during insertion. Additionally, the system includes a larger diameter "rescue" screw (TCT10) in Meisinger kits, to be used if traction resistance is insufficient with the standard 0.9 mm diameter.

What are the contraindications for the use of this device?

The use of these osteosynthesis screws is contraindicated in the presence of active infections localized in the implantation area. Systemically, the manufacturer Hager & Meisinger GmbH specifies that metabolic pathologies or medical treatments leading to progressive deterioration of the bone structure constitute major contraindications. This includes patients on corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or bisphosphonates, as well as patients suffering from uncontrolled diabetes. In general, all local or absolute contraindications relating to conventional oral surgery must be scrupulously respected by the practitioner before any intervention.

What are the precautions for use and rotation speeds?

To ensure safe and effective use, the practitioner must strictly observe the rotation speeds recommended by Meisinger. The recommended speeds, as well as the maximum values not to be exceeded, are detailed in the instrument overview provided with the Screw System TX. Compliance with these parameters is crucial to avoid bone overheating or instrument breakage. Being a non-resorbable titanium device, the screw must remain stable throughout the graft healing phase. Particular attention should be paid to the low head height of the screw, designed to improve patient comfort while facilitating flap closure.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are respected?

The 0.9 x 16mm screw is manufactured by Hager & Meisinger GmbH, a company based in Neuss, Germany. This medical device belongs to Class IIb, in accordance with current European regulations on medical devices. It benefits from the CE0044 marking, guaranteeing its compliance with the safety and performance requirements of the European Union. As a product of the Bone Management® line, it follows rigorous manufacturing processes specific to high-precision implant surgery standards. The traceability and quality of the materials (grade 5 titanium) ensure constant reliability for surgeons during their bone augmentation procedures.
