IRT removal tool for screw-type implants

As far as the IRT tool, the clinician will place the tip of it in the implant so it lines up into the screw hole opening. They will turn the tool slowly about ¼ of a turn clockwise, then immediately screw counterclockwise. As the doctor turns in a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE direction, the tip of the tool will engage into the screw opening while at the same time unscrew the implant. If more force is needed, place the Ratchet on top of the IRT.

Please remember this tool is intended for an implant that is loose in the bone, with little bone contact around it. If the implant is still firmly in bone contact, the IRT can break.

Once the implant is out, to remove the tool from the removed implant they will have to turn the tool CLOCKWISE.
