2. Product description
The PowerScrew is a double telescope screw for use in palatal expansion
devices. It is available in three sizes (8, 12 and 16 mm installation size).
Activation is simple, as the 8 cm long flat spanner can be quickly and
safely used by the patient on the hexagonal screw.
Narrow palates need a small expansion screw. The PowerScrew therefore
grows with it. By simply changing the hexagonal screw for the next big-
gest, the expander can continue to be used without making a new one
(see images page).
The PowerScrew and its retention arms are extremely stable and can
withstand the greatest forces and torques.
One turn (6 surfaces) equals 1 mm expansion (0.17 mm per surface);
every second surface is marked with increasing points.
