Drill Extension - Osstem - Delynov

What is the contra-angle tip extension for ROGFIXE - Osstem - Delynov screws?

The contra-angle tip extension for ROGFIXE screws, manufactured by Titamed BV under the Titamed brand, is an auxiliary instrument designed for oral surgery. This device acts as a mechanical extension positioned between the contra-angle and the specific screwdriver tip for the Osstem ROGFIXE system. Its structure is designed to provide additional reach during bone fixation phases, allowing deep or difficult-to-access anatomical sites to be reached. As a rog screw accessory, it ensures the transmission of the tightening torque required for the placement of micro screws without compromising the visibility of the operative field for the practitioner.

What are the clinical indications for this Titamed accessory?

This surgery contra-angle extension is primarily indicated during guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures requiring the use of the ROGFIXE screw system. In implantology and maxillofacial surgery, it is used for the stabilization of membranes or bone blocks. Its use is particularly relevant in posterior sectors or in patients with limited mouth opening, where the bulk of a standard contra-angle may hinder the screw insertion axis. This osteosynthesis screw accessory allows for the maintenance of a rigorous working axis, essential for the primary stability of micro screws during pre-implant bone augmentation procedures.

What are the technical characteristics of this extension?

The Titamed rog contra-angle extension features a robust metallic architecture adapted to the constraints of oral surgery. Its technical design allows for a secure connection with the contra-angle head on one side, and with the screw-holding tip on the other. Although specific dimensions are not detailed, this instrument is calibrated to minimize mechanical play during rotation, thus guaranteeing optimal precision during screwing. It acts as a motorized rog micro screw screwdriver, transforming standard rotary equipment into an osteosynthesis tool capable of navigating restricted spaces while supporting the sterilization cycles required in a surgical environment.

What are the contraindications for the use of this device?

The contraindications for using the Titamed extension are related to the general protocols of oral surgery and osteosynthesis. Its use is prohibited if the practitioner does not have the compatible specific ROGFIXE tip, as any attempt at forced adaptation could damage the device or compromise patient safety. Furthermore, it must not be used if the required tightening torque exceeds the mechanical limits of the instrument or those recommended by the manufacturer for ROGFIXE screws. Finally, use is contraindicated in the event of prior sterilization failure or the presence of visible damage on the extension body, such as deformations or signs of excessive wear.

What are the maintenance precautions for this non-resorbable equipment?

As a reusable metal surgical instrument, this extension requires a rigorous decontamination and sterilization protocol after each intervention. Precautions include thorough cleaning to remove any organic residue in the connection areas. It is recommended to follow the instructions from the manufacturer Titamed BV regarding autoclave cycles to preserve the structural integrity of the accessory. Regular checking of the surface condition and the fluidity of the locking mechanisms is essential. Improper maintenance could lead to a loss of precision during the placement of osteosynthesis screws or premature wear of the contra-angle transmission components.

Who is the manufacturer and what standards are met?

This device is manufactured by Titamed BV, a company recognized for its expertise in the design of osteosynthesis and maxillofacial surgery instruments. Marketed under the Titamed brand, this extension meets industrial quality requirements for rotary surgical instruments. To obtain precise information on the regulatory class, CE marking, or certifications specific to this model, it is imperative to refer to the product labeling and the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer. Compliance with the maintenance and use protocols defined by Titamed BV guarantees the reliability of the device during guided bone regeneration procedures.
