Frequently asked questions
Does the detachable shaft make sterilization easier?
Yes, the detachable shaft mechanism is specifically engineered to streamline the cleaning process. By pulling the back hammer, the crossbar separates from the shank, allowing for much more thorough and efficient sterilization compared to fixed-shaft models.
What is the benefit of the Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides significant functional advantages for the surgeon:
- Enhanced Durability: It protects the underlying stainless steel from wear.
- Improved Performance: It creates a smoother surface, which helps maintain sharpness over time.
- Efficiency: The coating effectively reduces the frequency with which the instrument requires professional sharpening.
