321.20 Ratchet Wrench, 11 mm width across flats
321.25 Spanner Wrench
357.22 Hammer Guide
357.25 Slide Hammer
357.395 Driving Cap
357.398 Cannulated Shaft with 8 mm hex
To use a hammer, slide the driving cap into the grooves on
the insertion handle and secure it in place using the 11 mm
ratchet wrench or spanner wrench. A free hammer can be
used to strike the driving cap directly. Alternatively, the slide
hammer and hammer guide can be threaded into the driving
cap. Light blows can be used to seat the nail. Remove the
driving cap once the nail has been seated.
Important:
Confirm that the nail is tightly connected to the
insertion handle, especially after hammering. The cannulated
shaft with 8 mm hex and 11 mm ratchet wrench may be
used to retighten the connecting screw over the reaming rod
as needed.
If a reaming rod has been used, it should be removed once
the nail has crossed the fracture site.
