FLEXBLOCK™ TF2 Temporal Fossa Implant

Return to Temporal Products

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.
