MedCAD, creators of AccuPlate patient-matched titanium implants, has announced that AccuPlate 3DTi reconstruction plates for the mandible and midface are now 3D printed. The plates allow for a shorter delivery window, as well as more geometries and features to address more surgical needs and complexities.
According to the company, improved turnaround times for each patient-specific plate can quickly provide surgeons with bespoke, creative reconstruction options within timeframes that were previously unavailable.
The plates are available in thicknesses of 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.6 mm and 2.8 mm. Highly requested features like inferior border hooks, as well as graft trays and precise allowances for off-the-shelf mesh between the plate and mandible, are all newly available options. Additionally, locking and non-locking threaded plate features or 3D printed mesh features combined with the plate are available. AccuPlate 3DTi implants can be delivered in as few as five days after surgeon approval.
