Use a trial rod for USS rods (for 5.0 mm or 6.0 mm rods) to
determine the shape and length of the rod to be inserted (1).
Use the bending pliers with rolls for USS rods (2) or the USS
bending iron (3) to bend the rod.
Note:
Once bent, titanium rods should not be bent back
again. Do not bend titanium rods more than 45°.
Note regarding the hook/screw offset:
Anatomical condi-
tions sometimes result in the implants not being aligned in a
straight line so that the rod cannot be inserted into all the
implants from the same side. In such cases, the dual opening
and the offset of the heads of the pedicle screws and the
hooks mean that the spacing can be compensated for with-
out the rod having to be bent.
