• One instrument that ratchets as well as limits the torque applied • Allows for easy fastening even with limited clearance • Eliminates need to switch instruments: simply ratchet to advance screws, and tighten until maximum torque is achieved • Offered in bi-directional or an ultra-precise uni-directional torque limiting mechanisms • Exclusive new design features a "roller pin style" mechanism that offers:     • Less recoil     - Smoother torque limiting action     - Less motion to actuate: 20 degrees of rotation to actuate torque limiter     - Doesn't rely on friction so it's a more robust mechanism     - Greater precision     - Longer lasting: tested to hold +/- 8% at 106 lb-in (12 N-m)       after 150+ autoclaves and 6,000+ actuations • Available with a lock feature to revise or back-out threaded fasteners • Patented and patents pending Finally, a torque instrument that limits the amount of torque applied when tightening a threaded fastner coupled with the convenience of a ratcheting screwdriver. This patented RTL features Gauthier's market-leading No-Play ratcheting screwdriver mechanism. Plus the RTL delivers torque limiting performance through technology that doesn't rely on a friction-based design. Instead, Gauthier's RTL is designed with a bearing mechanism that offers less recoil and a smoother torque limiting action. Now, with the ability to position their hands for optimal grip using the ratcheting feature, physcians have the ability to tighten and torque constructs with significantly less hand or arm motion.
