We recommend using new DePuy Synthes cutting tools

tools are the basis for successful surgery. Therefore, check
used cutting tools after every use for wear and/or damage
and replace them if necessary.
Cutting tools must be cooled with irrigation fluid to
prevent heat necrosis.
The user of the product is responsible for proper use
of the equipment during surgery.
Check proper operation of the tool before using it on
