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
