Titanium Mandibular Reconstruction System
|
|
|
Indications:
|
- Resection of benign and malignant tumours
- Resection of osteomyelitis
- Post trauma e.g. gun shot wounds, provided there is proper
debridment and sufficient soft tissue cover
- A fixation system for cancellous and free vascular bone
grafts
|
Features:
|
- Low Profile Design Plates
combine rigidity and contourability for more demanding rigid
fixation needs
- Specially designed and
engineered to resist breakage even when long spans are
bridged and months to years of function are anticipated
- Only a single trocar necessary
to drill, tap and place screws
- Optimal instrument and implant
design to avoid complication with handling
- Rigid internal stabilization of
the mandible is an integral part of tumour and reconstructive
surgery today.
- The demands on plate systems are
many and are quite varied. They must not only be
biocompatible and rigid, they must also be well tolerated in
radiated tissue, scatter radiation least if subjected to
radiotherapy, resists breakage, interfere minimally with
diagnostic scanning, and be "user friendly".
|
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
