Craniofacial fixation plate kit, non-bioabsorbable

134 devices · GMDN 46644

Craniofacial fixation plate kits are surgical implants used to stabilize fractured bones in the skull, jaw, or face, such as the maxilla or mandible. These kits consist of rigid plates and screws made from durable, non-bioabsorbable materials like metal or carbon fiber, helping to align bone fragments and protect the healing site during recovery. They are also applied in reconstructive surgeries for congenital defects or post-traumatic repairs, ensuring proper bone alignment and structural integrity.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and intended for single-use in controlled clinical settings, though some components like tools may be reusable. Compliance with manufacturing standards and biocompatibility requirements is essential to ensure patient safety and effective healing outcomes.
