Frequently asked questions
Does the detachable shaft make sterilization easier?
Yes, the detachable shaft design is specifically engineered to streamline maintenance. By pulling the back hammer, the crossbar separates from the shank, allowing for a much more thorough and efficient cleaning and sterilization process.
What is the benefit of the Titanium Nitride coating?
The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides a protective black finish that offers several advantages:
- Increased Durability: Extends the overall lifespan of the instrument.
- Smooth Operation: Ensures consistent, reliable performance during surgery.
- Reduced Maintenance: Significantly decreases the frequency required for re-sharpening.
