GBR 4 Screw and Tack Kit

The GBR-04 Screw and Tack Kit is used for the fixation of membrane, mesh, and block bone. A series of screws and tacks are provided in a variety of sizes to tackle any surgical situation. Instrumentation is provided to apply the screws and tacks easily and predictably. The strong connections on the applicators grab the screws and tacks without dropping them. This kit allows clinicians to confidently secure barriers and grafts without worrying about dropped screws or loss of fixation. 

Titanium Bone and Membrane Screws
Titanium bone screws are used for a variety of applications. The length and diameter of the screw will depend on the surgical indication. Titanium bone screws can be used for fixating block bone, mesh, and membranes. These screws prevent graft or membrane migration, making placement of grafts and barriers easy and predictable. The screws are made of grade 5 titanium which will not integrate with bone. The screws are color coded based on diameter. These screws are self-drilling and self-tapping and contain a press fit friction connection which prevent dropped screws. The screws come in a variety of lengths and diameters and have head sizes between 2.5-3.0mm. 30 screws are included which vary in size to ensure you always have the right size for the job. Note that these are not tenting screws, if tenting screws are desired, please refer to TBM-05.

Titanium Bone Tacks
Titanium bone tacks are used for the fixation of dental membranes and dressings. The tacks stabilize membranes which makes the placement process easier. There are 12 tacks included with the kit which are 4.5mm in length with a 2.5mm head.
Available Screw Sizes

Instrumentation
The GBR 4 kit is provided with a series of instruments that make any GBR surgery easy and intuitive. The GBR 4 kit includes a buccal tack applicator, screw driver handle, hand screw driver shaft, latch screw driver, and pilot drill.

Buccal Tack Applicator - Bone Tack Holder
The buccal tack applicator grabs and centers tacks for easy implantation. Simply press the tip of the applicator against the head of a tack and it will be retained within the handle. The tack can then be pressed into bone with the handle. A mallet may be used if dense bone is encountered.

Screwdriver Handle & Hand Screw Driver Shaft
The screw driver handle is used in conjunction with the hand screw driver shaft to fixate titanium screws. The shaft of the driver slides into the handle and clicks into place. The handle consists of two sections that move independently, making single hand operation possible. The driver shaft uses a Philips press fit connection that easily and effectively grabs and retains screws. The friction fit of the driver prevents drop screws.

Latch Driver for Screw Placement
The latch driver is used to fixate bone screws using a slow speed implant handpiece. The head of the driver is a Philips connection which engage bone screws using friction.

Pilot Drill 
Included with the kit is a 1.0mm pilot drill. This drill can be used with any slow speed implant handpiece. When D1 dense cortical bone is encountered, very rarely you may need the pilot drill. In most instances a pilot drill is not needed.

Cassette
The cassette provided stores all the screws, tacks, and attachments. The side of the cassette has a clip which can hold the screwdriver handle, a plastic cover is included which slides over the top of the screws and tacks, making sure they cannot fall out.

Kit Features & Advantages:

• Tacks and screws are made of FDA approved titanium
• Tacks are strong and will not bend or break under normal loading conditions
• Tack applicator firmly holds tacks in place, making tack transportation easy
• Press fit cross connection screws hold tightly to the screw driver attachments
• Screws and Tacks are color coded for easy identification
• A measurement scale in implemented on the tack and screw organizer to help determine screw lengths
• 30 Screws are included as well as 12 tacks which makes this kit a great all-in-one option for GBR

* For most bone conditions you will not need to use a pilot drill to apply screws or tacks but in some instances of dense cortical bone, the pilot drill makes insertion easier

* Note this product does not include the mallet below, but can be added to the kit using the selection tool below
