Craniotome Attachment
Craniotome Attachment (05.001.059)
and Dura Guards (05.001.051–05.001.053)
Gear ratio: 1:1
The system includes a Craniotome Attachment and Dura
Guards in 3 lengths (S, M, L). The related burrs are also
marked with S, M and L.
Changing cranial burrs
1. Lock the handpiece.
2. Turn the release sleeve for burrs (1) until it engages
in the UNLOCK position.
3. Pull off the Dura Guard over the burr and remove
the burr.
4. Insert the new burr as far as possible turning it
slightly. The burr is correctly inserted when the Dura
Guard can be properly fitted.
5. Push the Dura Guard over the burr and mount the
Dura Guard on the Craniotome Attachment (pay
attention to the arrows for the correct inserting posi-
tion (2)). Then turn the release sleeve of the Cranio-
tome Attachment into the LOCK position until it
engages to clamp the burr and the Dura Guard.
6. Check that the Cranial Burr can be turned freely
and that the Dura Guard is well engaged by pulling
on it slightly.
Precautions:
•
Only use the Craniotomes with the related Cranial
Burrs.
•
Cranial Burrs must be cooled with irrigation liq-
uid to avoid heat necrosis to the nozzle built into
the Dura Guard.
•
Avoid side load on the burr and Dura Guard in
order to prevent breakage of the Dura Guard.
•
When the Craniotome Attachment is not attached
to the handpiece during tool change, use the Hand-
hold (05.001.074) for easier change of the burr and
Dura Guard.
