Turn the switch 2 to the right (direction ), see
Fig. 3.

switch closed
►
Hold the trial implant D at 0° position on the inser-
tion instrument A , see Fig. 8.
►
Turn the rotary nut 3 on the insertion instrument A
clockwise (“tighten” direction) until the trial
implant is clamped, see Fig. 4.

implant/implant clamped
►
Check manually that the trial implant is securely in
place.
Inserting the trial implant
►
Insert the trial implant D with the insertion
instrument 1 straight (0° position) into the pre-
pared implant bed. To do so, carefully hit with a
hammer on the impact surface of the rotary nut
3 .
►
To turn the trial D implant:
– Gently turn the rotary nut 3 counterclockwise
(“loosen” direction). When doing so, make cer-
tain that the pin
5 remains outside of the
switch 2 .
– Impact the trial implant D further with the
hammer until the required end position is
reached.
►
Check the position of the trial implant D using
intraoperative X-ray control.
Removing the trial implant
►
Mounting the impact cylinder C onto the insertion
instrument A , see Fig. 5.
Fig. 5 Mounting the impact cylinder onto the inser-
tion instrument
►
Carefully expel the trial implant D using the impact
cylinder C out of the intervertebral space, see
Fig. 6.

Uncoupling the impact cylinder C from the inser-
tion instrument A .
Uncoupling the trial implant from the insertion
instrument
►
Turn the rotary nut 3 counterclockwise ("loosen"
direction), until the pin 5 is fully in the switch 2 ,
see Fig. 3. When doing so, ensure that the pin 5
does not jam the switch 2 .
►
Turn the switch 2 to the left (direction ), see
Fig. 1.
►
Remove the trial implant.
►
If necessary, repeat the process with the next big-
gest trial implant, until the correct implant size is
determined.
