Product Description

Hahn Tapered Implant Screw Taps function as thread formers to precisely prepare the internal anatomy of the osteotomy site to receive a Hahn Tapered Implant. For the placement of Hahn Tapered Implants in extremely dense bone, it may be necessary to utilize a screw tap corresponding to the diameter of the implant body. The tap may be used as an alterna­tive to the dense bone drill. Due to the tap design and implant cutting efficiency, one tap is used for multiple implant lengths.

• Machined from corrosion-resistant, surgical stainless steel
• Features standard ISO latch connectivity
• Slightly flared design of the coronal head results in gentle expansion of the cortical plate for receiving the wider neck of the implant

Contraindications

Patients should be evaluated before the time of surgery for factors that put them at risk from the implant placement procedure, or that may affect healing of bone or surrounding soft tissue. Contraindications include but are not limited to: vascular conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, clotting disorders, anticoagulant therapy, metabolic bone disease, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, chronic periodontal inflammation, insufficient soft tissue coverage, metabolic or systemic disorders associated with wound and/or bone healing, use of pharmaceuticals that inhibit or alter natural bone remodeling, any disorders which inhibit a patient's ability to maintain adequate daily oral hygiene, uncontrolled parafunctional habits, insufficient height and/or width of bone, and insufficient interarch space.

Sterility

Hahn Tapered Implant Screw Taps are shipped NON-STERILE. Non-sterile items must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized prior to clinical use, according to a validated method.

• Cleaning: Wash using a broad spectrum cleaning solution, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

The recommended disinfection process is based on ANSI/AAMI ST79 guidelines, as follows:

• Disinfection: Immerse abutments in disinfectant¹, rinse with distilled water and dry.

The recommended sterilization process is based on the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1 and ANSI/AAMI ST79 guidelines, as follows:

• Sterilization: Gravity-fed sterilizers: Autoclave in sterilization pouch for 30 minutes at 121°C (250°F)². Devices are to be used immediately after sterilization.

NOTE: The validated procedures require the use of FDA-cleared sterilization trays, wraps, biological indicators, chemical indicators, and other sterilization accessories labeled for the sterilization cycle recommended. The healthcare facility should monitor the sterilizer for the facility according to an FDA-recognized sterility assurance standard such as ANSI/AAMI ST79.

¹Oral disinfectant containing Chlorhexidine is recommended; refer to the disinfectant manufacturer's instructions. ²ANSI/AAMI ST79
