Products
Custom cranioplasty implants
Patient-specific cranial implants modelled to fit defect margins for restoration of skull shape; applicable to simple unilateral and complex bilateral defects.
Custom facial augmentation implants
Patient-specific onlay implants for correction of facial hypoplasia or asymmetry, derived from quantitative facial analysis.
Sterilizable intraoperative forming tools
Forming tools designed for use in the operating room to shape resorbable mesh or autogenous bone grafts for reconstruction.
Skull biomodels
Physical skull reproductions produced from patient CT data in plaster-based or polymer materials for teaching, planning and intraoperative use.
Custom x‑ray phantoms
Custom-designed phantoms for imaging evaluation, available in a range of tissue- and bone-equivalent materials.
