Titanium Neuro Plating and CranioFlap System

Features:

  • Titanium:
    • Tissue compatible, therefore can remain in the body indefinitely
    • Implants remain chemically inert and corrosion free even after bending, due to the spontaneously renewing Titanium oxide layer covering the implants
    • Plates can be easily adaptable and contoured to the bone.  Titanium will rebound only minimally after bending
    • X-Rays images are relatively artifact free, unlike stainless steel
  • Modular sets can be customized to accommodate specific needs
  • Simple, exact and quick adaptation of plates and screws.
  • System is colour coded for easy identification

Plates:

  • Small plates with high stability due to their optimal design

  • Comprehensive plate selection ensures ideal plate-to-bone adaption

  • Plates shaped to conform to bone profiles

  • Pliable but maintain shape integrity

  • Available in various sizes to meet the requirements of the various areas of the skull

Screws:

  • Screws are self tapping with cross slot

  • Screws are counter sunk in plate and low profile

  • Pick up of screws are with friction fit

CranioFlap Method:

Step 1:

Mark Incision Line

Drill burr holes

 

Step2:

Fix CranioFlap plates to the bone using self tapping screws.  Fix only slightly to mark the bone where the screws should be placed for final fixation

 

Step 3:

Remove screws on "outside" of flap.  Turn plates into centre of bony segment before incision

 

Step 4:

Bony segment is cut and removed with plates attached

After operation bony segment is returned, cranioflap plates turned and screws replaced in original holes.

Method ensures the bony flap is returned to correct position
