Overview
The Cranial Loop Cranial Bone Fixation System is a smart system made of PEEK-OPTIMA™, a biocompatible polymer, for securely fixing bone flaps resulting from craniotomies. It is completely instrument-free due to its fast and easy 'Pull and tighten' action, which allows the surgeon to fixate a standard bone flap in less than a minute with only three steps.
In cranial bone fixation procedures, the Cranial LOOP (FC050000) and Cranial LOOP (L) (FC050100) are for use within the osteotomy line (calvarial gap) while the Cranial LOOP (XL) (FC050200) is to be used for covering a standard 14 mm cranial burr hole only. These are long-term implantable devices indicated for post-craniotomy bone flap fixation, with FDA 510(k) clearance.
