Frequently asked questions
Does the detachable shaft simplify sterilization?
Yes, the detachable shaft design is specifically engineered to streamline the sterilization process. By using a pull-hammer mechanism, the crossbar easily detaches from the shank, allowing for thorough cleaning of internal components that are often difficult to access.
Is the titanium nitride coating beneficial for longevity?
Absolutely. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating provides several key advantages:
- Enhanced Durability: It acts as a protective layer to prevent wear.
- Reduced Friction: It ensures smooth, fluid operation during surgery.
- Sharpness Retention: It significantly reduces the frequency required for re-sharpening.
