All Medacta hand instruments feature an integrated cleaning mechanism achieved through implementation of side
fenestrations (a) that allow access to all hidden surfaces.
Some Punches, Graspers and Suture Cutters allow partial disassembly of the hand-piece during the washing process. The following images show how to assemble/disassemble Medacta Hand Instruments for cleaning and washing.
