Cortoss Bone Augmentation Material - Preparation Techniques

Preparing Cortoss Preparing the Syringe



Preparing Cortoss

Allow the Cartridge to equilibrate to room temperature prior to use. This may require approximately one hour.

Step 1:
Press and hold the Piston Release Button on the rear of the Delivery Gun.

Using the Piston Rack finger loop, pull the Pistons into the Delivery Gun housing until fully retracted.

Step 2:

Open the Cartridge Door on the Delivery Gun.

Step 3:
Hold the Cartridge so that the volume increment (numbered) side faces up.
Note: The Cartridge Notch (arrow) opposite the numbered surface will engage the Delivery Gun.

Step 4:
Place the Cartridge, volume increment (numbered) side up, into the Delivery Gun and fully seat.

Step 5:

Close the Cartridge Door to lock the Cartridge in place.

Step 6:

Push the Piston Rack fully forward until the Pistons stop within the Cartridge.

Remove the Cartridge Cap by turning it a quarter turn in a counter-clockwise direction.

A gentle toggle of the Cap may facilitate its removal.

Step 7:
Balance the plungers by slowly squeezing the trigger of the Delivery Gun until material is expressed from each chamber of the Cartridge. Wipe any excess material from the end of the Cartridge.

Step 8:
Attach a Mix-tip to the Cartridge by aligning the v-spike on the Mix-tip with the corresponding v-notch on the Cartridge. Press the Mix-tip firmly against the Cartridge housing and rotate the lock ring one quarter turn clockwise until it meets its mechanical stop.

DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER AT THIS STAGE.
