RME devices). In addition, it is used in purely mini anchor screw-worn ex-
panders, like the Micro2 Expander or Micro4 Expander.
4. Use of the Expander and activation of the PowerScrew
As soon as the device is used, medical activation of at least 0.5 mm (3
surfaces) can be carried out. That guarantees initial activation and shows
the patient the correct use.
Please give your patient the patient information leaflet with the turning
protocol for daily recording. Enter in this turning protocol the turns made
by you for activation. We also recommend allowing the patient to make
a few turns forwards and back for him/her self. This ensures that the pa-
tient has understood the turning process.
Please carry out a withdrawal test at every checkup. Use the Weingart
forceps to pull briefly on the retention arms to check the seat and firm-
ness of the apparatus.
5. Expansion, warning thread and turning stop
Each ring gauge corresponds to 2 mm expansion. When maximum ex-
pansion of the PowerScrew is reached, the warning thread (green) ap-
pears on the threaded tube. The screw should not be turned any further.
6. Securing the PowerScrew after turning stop
After expansion is concluded, light-cured resin (Heliosit
®
or Triad
®
Gel)
can be applied between the hexagonal screw and the retention arms to
fix the hexagonal screw to the thread rod. Further expansion can be car-
ried out after that if required.
