Basic information on the surgical procedures - Straumann

Before starting and during the surgical procedure, the following points must be
considered:
p Check all instruments for completeness and function. An adequate stock of
implants and sterile spare instruments should always be available.
p Do not use cutting instruments more than 10 times. The table “Surgery
Tracking Sheet for Straumann Cutting Instruments” (Art. No. 152.755)
facilitates tracking.
p Ensure ample cooling of drills with pre-cooled (5 °C, 41 °F) physiological
sterile saline solution (NaCl) or Ringer’s solution.
p Do not exceed the indicated speed for drills (see graphics and tables on
page 33, ff.).
p Use drills in ascending order of their diameter.
p Use only light pressure and an intermittent drilling technique.
