BIOMET 3i recently introduced the High Torque Indicating Ratchet Wrench (H-TIRW)—a unique high-torque ratchet wrench for surgical use. The H-TIRW is sleek and easy to use, providing clinicians with an option they may not have had before: an inexpensive tool for instant, accurate, high-torque indication during manual dental implant placement.

The H-TIRW clearly indicates forward and reverse torque of 50–90 Ncm without the need for additional components.

Other features and benefits include the following:

• Maintenance-free: Does not require lubrication or periodic re-calibration. Calibration may be checked by verifying that the arrow is positioned at the first scale mark (0 Ncm).
• Easy to separate and assemble: Consisting of only two parts, the H-TIRW is easy to prepare for sterilization.
• Multifunctional: Doubles as a conventional ratchet wrench to place implants and as a torque indicator to provide a visual assessment of torque.

More information is available from BIOMET 3i.
