FLEXBLOCK TF2 Temporal Fossa Implant
|
|
FLEXBLOCK Temporal Fossa Implant shapes are designed to augment
deficient soft tissue in the temporal region. Surgeons may select
from three sizes to aid in temporal contouring to replace missing
or atrophic tissues resulting from trauma, neurological procedures,
temporalis muscle mobilization or lateral orbital rim displacement.
New Features of the TF2 Implants include: improved anatomical fit,
contoured temporal plane, thinner less palpable edge and improved
overall flexibility. Results are an easier to use product and a
more natural post operative result.
The interconnecting, omni directional pore structure of the MEDPOR®
Biomaterial allows for rapid vascularization and soft tissue ingrowth.
The pedicles of the implant may be placed against the temporal bone
in instances of missing temporalis muscle or against the deep fascia
of the temporalis muscle in atrophic cases. The pedicles may be
easily trimmed to reduce their projection.
The overall perimeter may be modified with surgical scalpels or
scissors. Stabilization may be accomplished by suturing to surrounding
soft tissue or by using rigid fixation techniques. MEDPOR Implants
are composed of biocompatible porous polyethylene for use in craniofacial
augmentation and reconstruction procedures.
Implants are provided STERILE, packaged individually in double
peel pouches.
