Description

Synthes CMF Battery Powered Driver, Part no. 305.840. Used to place screws in the cranialfacial bones, and to drill and/or tap holes to prepare cranialfacial bones for screw insertion.

Reason

The CMF Battery Powered Driver graphic case contains outlines of the Battery Powered Driver, taps, screwdriver blades, and a screw holding sleeve. However, the device is not intended to be used in conjunction with a tap for tapping holes in a patient's skull, upper and/or lower jaw. Therefore some outlines in the graphic case suggest a potential use of this device that is considered off-label.
