Select the plate length (S or M) and insert the plate
holders on each side of the cage holder
(Figure 8a)
.
Plates are pre-assembled in a single-use plate holder
made of PEEK CLASSIX™.
Markings on the plate holders should face the cage
holder and the peg must be locked into the slots on the
cage holder
(Figure 8c)
.
Insert impactors on each side of the cage holder handle
and slide them until they are locked by the flexible
blades. The distal tips of the impactors must
be engaged inside the plate holders
