Insert Distractor

Place the device intraorally and tent the skin to determine its exact position. Make a stab incision through the skin at this location, followed by blunt dissection. Pass the distraction activator through the percutaneous port. Once the distractor is positioned, mark the osteotomy location on the bone.
