CranioFix® absorbable

Description CranioFix® absorbable is a double sided, clamp based system for the fixation of craniotomised bone flaps. The thread chain-block mechanism offers instrument-free application. The integrated automatic strain-relief mechanism ensures a reproducible fixation with defined force. The implants are made out of absorbable polyester, which is a standard material for absorbable fixations in neurosurgery. The fixation retains approximately 90-95% of its initial strength after 8-12 weeks. The implants are absorbed completely after 2-3 years and the material is metabolized by the body. The stability characteristics of CranioFix® absorbable support the complete osseointegration of cranial flaps in paediatric and adult patients. CranioFix® absorbable is delivered sterile as a pre-fabricated assembly. It can be used without any additional instruments. Advantages Integrated strain relief mechanism Instrument-free application Smooth flat surface of low-profile implant No cleaning, reprocessing or sterilisation Features No artefacts regarding postoperative CT or MR imaging Sterile packaging Indication Absorbable fixation system for cranial bone flaps For pediatric and adult patients
