NeoBiotech Fixture Removal Kit
Neobiotech · Implant Surgery FR KitFixture Removal Kit A purpose-built system for removing failed implants — osseointegrated or fractured — with minimal bone damage. No trephine dr ill required. The FR Kit's clamping mechanism applies controlled counter-torque directly to the implant body, preserving surrounding bone for immediate re-implantation and GBR. No Trephine Drill Required Minimal Bone Damage Compatible with Any Screw-Hole Implant Clinical Insight What clinicians are saying Real-world feedback from implantologists using the Neobiotech FR Kit in their practices. "The FR Kit changed how I think about failed implants. I used to dread the conversation — trephine drilling, bone loss, months of healing before anything else could happen. Now I can remove the fixture, assess the site, and in most cases place a new implant the same day. The clamping mechanism is intuitive once you've done it a couple of times, and the bone condition post-removal has been consistently better than I expected." Fixture Removal · Immediate Re-implantation · Bone Preservation "What I appreciate most is the torque control. You're working with a defined range for each screw size, the counter-torque ratchet gives you tactile feedback, and you're never guessing whether you've applied enough force. I had a fractured implant case — no exposed head — and the FR Kit handled it cleanly. Site was immediately graftable." Torque Control · Fractured Implant · GBR-Ready Site Resources Product Documentation Product Brochure Article Collection User Guide Indications When to use the FR Kit Designed for implant removal in a wide range of clinical scenarios — from early failure through to fully osseointegrated or fractured fixtures. Failed Osseointegrated Implants — Removes fully integrated fixtures using controlled counter-torque without requiring a trephine drill, preserving the surrounding bone envelope. Fractured Implants — Applicable to fractured fixtures where a screw hole remains accessible, enabling retrieval without additional surgical trauma to adjacent tissue. Immediate Re-implantation Sites — Bone thread condition is preserved post-removal, enabling implant placement and GBR at the same surgical visit. Ill-positioned Implants — Allows removal and replacement of implants placed in an unsuitable angulation or position prior to prosthetic loading. Any Screw-Hole Implant System — Compatible with implants of any brand or system, provided a screw-hole is accessible. Multiple Fixture Remover Screw sizes cover M1.4 through M2.5 and 1-72UNF connections. Early-Stage Failure — Suitable for removal prior to osseointegration where conventional forceps risk buccal plate damage or soft-tissue disruption. Product Video The original implant removal solution See the FR Kit in action — how the counter-torque clamping mechanism removes failed fixtures while preserving the surrounding bone. Technique Guide Four-step removal protocol A standardised sequence that applies controlled clamping force to reverse-torque the implant body — without rotary cutting instruments. 1 Failed implant 2 Right turn Close — FRS tightened 3 Left turn Close — clamping engaged 4 Implant removal 1 Identify the failed implant and select the correct Fixture Remover Screw (FRS). Match the FRS to the implant's internal connection size (M1.4, M1.6, M1.8, M2.0, M2.5, or 1-72UNF). Insert the FRS fully — up to the reference line on the screw — to prevent screw fracture during tightening. 2 Connect the FRS to the implant and tighten clockwise (right turn) to recommended torque. Use the Hex Driver with a torque wrench. Recommended torque is 60 Ncm for M1.4, and 80 Ncm for all other screw sizes. Less than 80 Ncm is the target for most cases. 3 Thread the Fixture Remover (FR) onto the FRS counterclockwise (left turn) and tighten with a torque wrench. This engages the clamping mechanism — the FR body grips the implant platform and begins applying counter-torque. Continue tightening up to the maximum torque for the selected combination (see compatibility table). 4 Continue counter-torque application with copious irrigation until the implant is released. The implant unscrews from the site without bone cutting. Assess the socket immediately — if thread condition is favourable, re-implantation and GBR can proceed at the same visit.

The Fixture Remover Screw must be fully seated — up to the marked line — before torque is applied. Partial insertion concentrates stress at the screw neck and is the most common cause of FRS fracture. Confirm full seating visually before engaging the Hex Driver. 2 Match the Fixture Remover diameter to the implant platform. Using a Narrow FR on a Wide-platform implant will not achieve adequate clamping force. Refer to the torque compatibility table to confirm FR model selection before surgery — the correct combination is essential to reaching the counter-torque needed for release. 3 Maintain copious irrigation throughout counter-torque application. The reverse-torque process generates friction at the implant–bone interface. Continuous saline irrigation controls temperature, protects the remaining bone, and supports site viability for immediate re-implantation. 4 Assess thread condition immediately after removal. When bone thread condition is favourable, re-implantation and GBR can proceed at the same surgical visit. If thread condition is compromised, allow healing and plan re-entry — forced immediate placement into a damaged socket risks repeat failure. 5 Sterilise all reusable instruments between cases. The Fixture Remover, Hex Driver, and Torque Wrench are all reusable. Follow standard autoclave protocols per AS/NZS sterilisation guidelines and inspect each instrument for wear before use — deformed threads or damaged hex interfaces should be replaced before they are returned to clinical use. ⚠ Clinical Notice: The FR Kit is intended for use by trained dental surgeons and implantologists. Ensure the Fixture Remover Screw is fully seated prior to torque application to prevent instrument fracture. Do not exceed the maximum torque values specified for each FR and FRS combination. Follow AS/NZS sterilisation guidelines for all reusable instruments. Refer to the User Guide for full indications, contraindications, and handling instructions.
