Placement of the ceramic insert
The procedure for the trial insert is the same
as described under “Optionally: trial reduction
using trial insert”.
Before insertion it must be ensured that the
inner surface of the metal shell is dry and
free of any debris.
Remove the BIOLOX ® forte ceramic insert
with the premounted CeraLock ® insertion aid
from its packaging. Remove the transparent
Plexiglas triggering protection and dispose
of it.
Place the CeraLock ® insertion aid on the front
face of the metal shell so that all 3 arms lie
on the edge and the BIOLOX ® forte ceramic
insert cannot tilt.
Exert force on the CeraLock ® plateau and
press the BIOLOX ® forte ceramic insert home
into the shell.
The instrument will have now released the
BIOLOX ® forte insert. Remove the CeraLock ®
insertion aid and dispose of it. It is intended
for single usage only and must not be resterilized.
The correct position of the insert in the metal
shell must be checked. Using the tip of the
fingers, touch the 2 front faces of the insert
and metal shell. If the position of the insert
over its entire circumference is level to the
metal edge, then it is correctly positioned in
the shell.
