LOADING THE EXPEDIUM VERSE SCREW
Attach the Poly Driver to a modular handle. Couple the driver
to the screw by placing the X25 driver tip into the X25
feature of the EXPEDIUM VERSE Screw Shank.
Secure the implant by sliding the Poly Driver Handle toward
the implant and rotating it clockwise.
NOTE:
If it is desired to implant a EXPEDIUM VERSE
Screw following removal of the extended tabs, the Poly
Driver Shaft (removed from the Poly Driver Handle) or
the X25 Inserter/Tightener can be used to implant the
screw in the pedicle.
DELIVERING THE EXPEDIUM VERSE SCREW
Apply the instrument to the entry point of the pedicle and
rotate modular handle clockwise until the implant is fully
inserted. If additional torque is required, the Ratcheting
T-Handle can be used. Once the pedicle screw is inserted,
make sure the polyaxial head does not interfere with the
bony anatomy so that the polyaxiality of the head is retained.
To adjust the screw head height, reverse the direction of the
ratchet and rotate the handle counter-clockwise.
To release the implant turn the handle of the Poly Driver
counterclockwise to disengage the driver from the screw
head while holding the modular handle in a fixed position.
Confirm placement of screws and check screw length with
fluoroscopy or plain X-rays prior to rod insertion.
ADJUSTING THE POLYAXIAL SCREW HEAD
The EXPEDIUM VERSE Polyaxial Screw Head can be
adjusted and positioned using the Head Adjuster. The drag
feature of the implant will help to retain head position,
facilitating rod capture.
