357.371 Buttress/Compression Nut
357.381 11.0 mm/3.2 mm Wire Guide

Thread the buttress/compression nut onto the blade
guide sleeve. Place the yellow blade guide sleeve,
11.0 mm/3.2 mm wire guide and 3.2 mm trocar assembly
through the aiming arm and to the skin. Make an incision
to accommodate the path of the sleeve assembly. Ensure
that the incision and dissection of the fascia are in line
with the path of the blade guide sleeve. Pass the sleeve
assembly through the soft tissue to the bone. The
buttress/compression nut will snap into the aiming arm.
Technique tip:
When assembling the buttress/compression
nut onto the blade guide sleeve, locate it approximately in
the middle of the threaded portion of the blade guide sleeve
for insertion into the aiming arm.
