12 mm

Question 21

List the Set screw revolutions required for 1mm expansion of each of the ranges:

Answer 21

8-12mm : 1.5 rev

9-13mm : 1.5 rev

10-15mm : 1.25 rev

11-15mm : 1.5 rev

12-17mm : 1.25 rev

Question 22

Why won’t the implant collapse?

Answer 22

The screw threads are not directly loaded by compressive forces, thus preventing movement of endplates.

There is additional resistance between the ramp screw and actuator provided by the 3 PEEK inserts in the ramp screw.
