4-5 Coils
In order to ensure proper fit and efficacious treatment, the Flexion Gauge should be checked
for the proper shape.
1)
Place the coil at the treatment site and shape for best fit. Coil should be bent only
in one direction. Do not kink or twist the coil.
2)
Remove the shaped coil and place edge closest to the connector cable into the
slot/notch on the right hand side of the Flexion Gauge marked with a green triangle.
The opposite coil edge should fall within the green zone in the area marked
“FLEXION RANGE”. Each Flexion Gauge has a chart of coil tolerances with depth
of penetration data.
3)
If the coil edge does not fall within the green zone, contact your Biomet
representative for a suitable replacement and assistance.
Refer to pages 37, 48 and 49 for Flexion Gauge diagrams.
