The Inion CPS® Biodegradable Fixation System is comprised of plates, meshes, screws, and instrumentation used for fixation in
- pediatric craniofacial trauma and reconstruction
- fractures and reconstructive procedures of the cranium
- orthognathic surgery and trauma of the midface and maxilla
- fractures and osteotomies of the mandible (in conjunction with approximate maxillomandibular fixation)
The co-polymers used for the system are composed of L-Lactide, D, L-Lactide, Polyglycolide and TMC (Trimethylene Carbonate). These polymers have long histories of safe clinical use.
Benefits of the Inion CPS® Biodegradable Fixation System:
- Inion CPS® implants are biodegradable. No permanent metal implant is left in the body, reducing risk of migration, stress shielding and growth restriction in children.
- Predictable degradation progressively loads the bone to aid bone regeneration.
- Addresses patient concerns about implant permanence, palpability and temperature sensitivity.
- No interference with postoperative imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) which might be required for future diagnosis, as the implants are non-metallic.
- Implants are supplied sterile, solving patient and cross-infection control worries.
- Easy and precise anatomical contouring of plates after simply heating the Inion ThermoTM water bath.
