Frequently asked questions
Does the bayonet shaft design actually improve surgical visibility?
Yes. The bayonet-style shaft is specifically engineered to provide surgeons with superior visualization of the operative field. By offsetting the handle from the cutting tip, it helps keep the surgeon’s hands and instruments out of the direct line of sight during delicate spinal laminectomy procedures.
What are the benefits of the Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating?
The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating offers two primary advantages:
- Enhanced Durability: It creates a hard, resilient surface that protects the stainless steel construction.
- Smoother Performance: It provides a smoother action during operation and may reduce the frequency with which the instrument requires professional sharpening.
