Craniofacial bone tack, bioabsorbable

Craniofacial bone tacks that are bioabsorbable are small, implantable devices designed to stabilize bone fragments during fracture repairs or reconstructive surgeries in the craniofacial region, including the maxilla and mandible. They help secure dental regeneration membranes or maintain the position of grafts and substitutes until natural healing occurs.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring compliance with biocompatibility and degradation safety standards. They are usually supplied sterile and may include specialized inserters for precise placement, though classification varies by jurisdiction and intended use.
