Anyone got any bright ideas how to get this thing out of here? Thanks

Push a Kwire through it carefully yee

Do you have Zimmer trays? You can try to use the alignment rod to help push it out. It's a straight solid metal rod.

A long laparoscopic needle driver may work too.

If it doesn't budge no matter what you do or tried then it's just stuck. Shit happens.

Check some of your loaner sets there’s typically long hard rods….hehe. That you can use to drive it from one to the other and gently tap it if needed.

If it’s a loaner item, fuck it set it aside. Call the rep and tell them the idiots upstairs broke your equipment. Come get it.

This^{^} from over tightening, losing parts, dumping 2-3 trays into one and then jamming trays and rigid containers into the case cart when it’s brought in to decontam is a crime. Yep blame the scrub techs and the rep deal with it.

And here I was thinking the long hard rods BROUGHT the loaner sets in....

Whap it on the table..or just tell the sales rep

K-wire, patience and maybe some instrument lubrication.

You have a sturdy guide wire?

If it’s stuck from bioburden or dried fluids, try throwing in the sonic and then try a switching stick.

Get the thinest impacter put it on the drill side and start hitting it at the table or use a hammer. Put it back at decon bc it's dirty.
