Cranial resinous compound

39 devices · GMDN 16131

Cranial resinous compounds are medical devices designed to restore and reconstruct skull defects following neurosurgery, such as cranioplasty. These materials, often made from self-curing resins like polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), are shaped to fit the patient’s specific cranial contour, either preoperatively or intraoperatively, to provide structural integrity and protect underlying tissues.

These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical implants, with classification and supply requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are supplied in sterile form and may be custom-fabricated for individual patients to ensure precise fit and compatibility with surgical needs.
