Craniofacial fixation plates are rigid, non-bioabsorbable implants used to stabilize bone fractures, reconstruct defects, or secure craniotomy flaps in the skull, maxilla, or mandible. They bridge gaps, cover openings like burr holes, or hold prosthetics in place, ensuring proper healing and alignment during recovery.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring compliance with implant-specific standards and classification based on risk and intended use. They are commonly supplied as sterile, pre-packaged systems, sometimes including screws or drivers for surgical placement, though customization is not part of this category.
