4.4 Preparing the holes for the Quintex® screws
The holes for the self-drilling and self-tapping Quintex® screws are pre-
pared using the self-centering cortical center punch I. Alternatively, the
outer sleeve of the cortical center punch I can also be removed and the
cortical center punch I can be used in combination with a drill guide for
preparing the holes. This opens up the cortical bone layer of the vertebral
body and the screw can be screwed in without drilling.
Or, the screw hole can be pre-drilled with drill K. To do this, position the
drill K with the drill guide and use it manually with drill handle J, Q or
mechanically with a motor system with Aesculap intra-handpiece (e.g.
GD450R/GD456R).
