MatrixMANDIBLE Preformed Reconstruction Plates are preshaped to the anatomy of the mandible. Their shape was obtained by statistical analysis of data derived from a large number of CT scans, originating from various adult populations.
The combination of anatomic design and manufacturing processes allows reduction of stress in the plate compared to classical intraoperative bending of a flat plate. The minimal intraoperative bending that may be required preserves the optimal threaded hole shape, with no deformation of holes in the preformed sections. These features result in a plate which has an increased fatigue life compared to flat reconstruction plates, reducing the risk of premature plate failure.
In addition, the anatomic form of the MatrixMANDIBLE Preformed Reconstruction Plates can reduce time in the OR by reducing the number of bends required to completely contour the plate when compared to a flat reconstruction plate.
