Frequently asked questions
How does the Titanium Nitride coating benefit the instrument?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating is a surface treatment designed to significantly increase the instrument’s overall durability. It provides a smoother cutting action during surgery and helps maintain the edge of the blade, which can reduce the frequency of required sharpening.
Is the bayonet shaft design helpful for visualization?
