The 0.4 mm loop for the BTR Pen

Replacement tips for the BTR Pen: a needle of 0.4 mm diameter with a nitinol loop at its end, which the pen carries to the fragment, closes around it and draws out. Cerkamed's spec for the loop: a thin, highly elastic needle with a nitinol loop that returns to shape, resists stretching, and is biocompatible and corrosion-resistant. Five to the pack, single use.

This pack: Cerkamed BTR Pen Tips with nitinol loop, 0.4 mm diameter, single use, non-sterile (Pack of 5)

What it is for

›  Cerkamed: "The BTR TIP is delivered non – sterile. Before use, the tip should be sterilised" in a standard bag in the autoclave, and stored dry and clean.

›  Cerkamed, in capitals: "STERILISE WITHOUT THE PROTECTIVE CUP!"

›  Set the loop with the calibrator before it goes in – Cerkamed note that a blunt or bent calibrator needle "negatively affects the instrument performance".

›  Cerkamed: "Used tips disposed of responsibly or returned to the manufacturer."

Which size do I need?

The one that reaches the fragment. A 0.4 mm needle is the middle size, a little stiffer than the 0.3 for a fragment that needs more pull. Keep all three; the case chooses.

Can a tip be reused?

No. Cerkamed are unambiguous that the tip is single use, and a loop that has been tightened on steel once will not set true a second time.
