sliding spacer
DISASSEMBLY
To disassemble look at picture 1 and 5.
1. Completely unscrew (reverce clockwise) lever assembly ( jamcase ) of handpiece
2. Remove pinscrew, with the Allan key delivered ( 2a ), than lever ( 2 b ),
thereafter bolt with plasticinset ( 2 c ) with a narrow instrument ( presure rod can be
used )
3. Extract presure rod
4. Detach handpiece by unscrewing completely from the guiding tube
5. Slide off the striking weight
6. Remove the sliding spacer through rectangular space at the instrument head
7. Remove guiding tube by unscrewing completely from the instrument head
.
Further in case of stocked guiding tube in the handpiece, for exampel after deshidratation of the blood
or overtighting, can be used the wrence keys R7 and R11 as help only for disassambling.

FEM-Analysis of Revision with the EPM Mueller® Stem Extractor
The direction of force of the EPM Mueller® Extractor (normal case) lies in the middle axis XY
of the femora.
The strain distribution in the prosthesis during extraction with the EPM Mueller Extractor is
homogenous, which favors the detachment of the implant from spongiosa and soft tissue.
Strain in the cortical bone is low and shows no peaks.
Therefore the risk of fracture of the cortical bone is minimized.
The EPM Mueller® Extractor is optimized for practical application. The extraction forces are
applied to the relevant sides, the clamping force is extremely high and dependable and the
device can universally be used for the most implant necks.
