Cranioplasty implants are alloplastic inlays which are fitted precisely to the margins of a cranial vault defect to restore skull shape and continuity. Modeling of custom implants for simple unilateral defects is based on
mirror imaging the architecture of the contralateral skull and is a basic
process which is widely available. |
Reconstruction of complex or bilateral skull defects is much more problematic, requiring expert knowledge and a reference database of skull shapes. Calavera has the unique capability of being able to provide a patient-specific cranioplasty implant for any size, shape or complexity of defect, including bilateral defects. |
Cranioplasty implants can be provided in variety of materials to meet the needs and preferences of both surgeon and patient, including PMMA, porous high-density polyethylene, or titanium. Custom Implant Design Overview |
