CEMENT PREPARATION
Once the Fenestrated Cortical Fix Polyaxial Screws are in
place and the alignment devices are attached to those levels
selected to be augmented, prepare the cement according to
the manufacturer’s published instructions.
When augmenting multiple screws/levels with cement,
attention must be paid not to exceed the working time of
the cement prior to the completion of cement delivery
through the screw. When the cement working time is close
to completion, a new cement, cement delivery system
package, and cannula must be used for any remaining
levels/screws.
NOTE:
Bone cement must be prepared as per the
cement package insert or surgical technique manual.
Time/Temperature Graph provided in the package insert
or surgical technique manual must be followed carefully.
NOTE:
If using the V-Max Mixing and Delivery System
and the Vertebroplastic Radiopaque Resinous
Material, the CONFIDENCE System Luer Adapter
(2839-99-001) is screwed onto the cannula before
attaching those systems onto the cannula.
NOTE:
If there is any trouble inserting the cannula into
the screw shank, ensure that the alignment device is
properly threaded into the screw head.
CONNECTION OF CANNULA TO THE
CEMENT RESERVOIR
Thread the CONFIDENCE SPINAL CEMENT reservoir onto
the cannula.
ATTACHMENT OF CEMENT CANNULA
TO ALIGNMENT GUIDE
Place the cannula with cement reservoir through the
alignment guide and into the screw shank. The cannula will
click onto the alignment guide.
When the cannula is properly positioned in the screw shank,
the tip will be just above the first fenestration.

NOTE:
To ensure that the cannula is correctly positioned
to deliver cement, the cannula MUST click into place
before proceeding to the next step.
