Does the CHROME loc’s engage? What if the plunger does not plunge?

CHROME Loc’s are carefully checked. Guides may be going in crooked. Inspect the CHROME Loc Box for material. Might be clear, broken Pin Guide plastic that is hard to see. Perhaps the case was heat cleaned and warped. Carefully adjust the hold on the insertion part that is going in the box, until the plunger plunges.

Taper the end of the plunger tip, round off the edge.

Rongeurs twist and pull. Be delicate, full removal is not terrible, just inconvenient because it will not work as designed for the rest of the surgery.

NO Autoclave, only 20 minutes cold sterilization
