How to use HydroCone™
Step 1: Hydrate
Hydrate the device with sterile solution through the open part of the device. Close it with your hand to keep the liquid in and rotate to fully hydrate the internal surface.
Step 2: Load
Round implants are placed directly into the device from the packaging patch side down for proper orientation.
For anatomical implants, take care to orient the device properly based on your incision location. These implants must be hand-placed with the proper orientation into the device.
Step 3: Trim
The trim line provides a guideline of where to trim the device according to the cc volume of the implant, with considerations provided for profile type, textured or shaped implants.
For anatomical implants, the device must be trimmed significantly larger to allow the implant to pass through.
Step 4: Propel
Once the HydroCone™ has been properly hydrated, with the implant inserted and trimmed accordignly, gently propel the implant through the device into the surgical pocker.
