Synthes Biomaterials CMF implants are used for the surgical treatment of various kinds of bone defects in the Cranium, Maxilla, Mandible and Midface and for facial and cranial reconstruction and augmentation.

The portfolio contains different bone replacement materials, porous polymers for augmentations and resorbable polymers for reconstruction. Synthes offers a wide range of Biomaterials products in different application forms and with distinct biological properties for a selective treatment.

Selection of the various biomaterials is generally based on the indication as well as other desired properties such as: resorption/remodeling time, handling characteristics, osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, etc.

For more detailed information about a specific product please choose from the list below or contact your local Synthes representative.

chronOS

Synthetic and resorbable bone graft substitute con-sisting of pure β-tricalcium phosphate. The intercon-nected porous structure of chronOS acts as an osteo-conductive matrix for the ingrowth of bone cells and blood vessels.

chronOS Perfusion Concept

Indicated to impregnate chronOS with either blood or bone marrow for critical size defects or if a faster remodeling of the bone graft substitute is required.

DBX*

Allograft with excellent osteoinductive properties representing a valuable alternative to cancellous bone grafting. DBX is used in cases where fast bone healing is desired and for critical size bony defects.

* Facilitated through Synthes

Allograft Bone Chips and Blocks*

Strong bone graft material made of cortical/cancellous allograft. They feature good osteoconductive properties and provide structural support to the bone defect.

* Facilitated through Synthes

Norian CRS Fast Set Putty

Norian CRS Fast Set Putty is a moldable, biocompatible bone putty that sets at body temperature and is easily mixed within the sterile field. It is suitable for augmentation and restoration of the craniofacial skeleton.

SynPOR

SynPOR implants can be used for Orbital Floor reconstruction and facial augmentation. The implants are manufactured from an inert, nonabsorbable polymer, formulated to contain a network of open and interconnecting pores approximately 100 – 250 μm in size.

RapidSorb

The RapidSorb Resorbable Fixation System made of 85:15 poly L-lactide-co-glycolide offers an attractive alternative to traditional metal implants. The material consists of components found naturally in the body. The resorption is completed in about 1 year, while initial plate and screw stability is maintained for at least eight weeks during the critical bone healing phase.

RapidSorb Cranial Clamp

The RapidSorb Cranial Clamps are intended for fixation of cranial bone flaps and to cover burr holes in pediatric and adult patients.
