Use the bending template Ø 5.0 mm (388.906/907) to
determine the proper rod contour and length.
Contour the rod using either the bending pliers with
rolls for rods Ø 5.0 mm, with bending radius adjustment
(1) (388.961), or the bending iron (2) (388.911, left,
388.922 right).
Warning:
Once bent, the titanium rods should not be
bent back again. Do not bend titanium rods more
than 45°.
Note:
Hook/screw offset
Anatomical conditions sometimes result in the implants
not being aligned in a straight line. The screws and
hooks have a 7.6mm offset and the dual opening allows
for insertion of the rod to either side of the pedicle
screws and hooks.
