Frequently asked questions
Why choose the bayonet shaft design?
The bayonet-style shaft is specifically engineered to enhance visualization of the surgical field. By sweeping away from the primary axis, it provides the surgeon with a clearer line-of-sight to the target area in procedures where visibility is restricted.
What are the benefits of the titanium coating?
The black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating offers several performance advantages:
- Increased Durability: Protects the underlying stainless steel from wear.
