The distractor may be used only once!
The patient screwdriver (26-750-25) may be used for one patient only!
CAUTION!
The user is responsible for the proper performance of the surgical intervention! Likewise, it is
the user's responsibility to avoid or minimize the general risks posed by surgical interventions.
He/she must have a full command of the surgical technique used, both in theory and in prac-
tice. It is the user's responsibility to select the correct implant components and implant them
properly. This also requires full familiarity with bone and soft-tissue anatomy.

Suitable measures must be taken to prevent the distraction site from
overload (including situations that are beyond conscious control such as
the sleep phase; e.g. by wearing a cuff for protection).
Upon completion of the distraction process, the activator is removed.
1) The "GENOS mini" distractors feature an activator coupling for this
purpose. Special forceps are available for easy removal of the activa-
tor during the consolidation phase (see page 18).
2) In the case of "GENOS MC" distractors, the activator is cut off with a
wire cutter.
Note that the remaining distractor must not be affected by lever ac-
tion during this process!
In cases where the maximum distraction length is intended, the activator
must be rotated backwards by half a turn before removing it upon com-
pletion of the distraction process. This prevents activation spindle damage
that may be caused by accidental rotation during activator removal.
The distractor is intended for single use only. Once distraction is complet-
ed, the device is removed as foreseen in the treatment plan and disposed
of according to regulations.
