Patient Specific Implant

• Biocompatibility
• Reduced infective potential
• Reduced risks of inflammatory process due to exothermic reaction
• Great mechanical protection of the cerebral structures
• Perfect and symmetric reconstruction of the external and internal cranial profile,with positive psychological consequences
• Actions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor with the possibility to restore or improve some of the lost motor functionAttenuation or less possibility to develop the “skull down syndrome”

• Realization of the models in 24/ 48 hours
• Rapid delivery – usually 10 days – emergency 6/ 7 daysInexpensive
• Reduced operating time
• Possibility of touch up the prosthesis during the implantation
• Opportunity to drill the prosthesis for fixing,where most appropriate
• Positioning with screws and plates or not absorbable or titanium suture
• No exothermic reaction
• Reduced infective potential
• Delivery of two identical copies

The Applications include head injury due to:

• Post-traumatic craniectomy
• Decompressive craniectomy for o edema, tumors infections or vascular lesion
• Infections or bone abscess

The procedure for the realizationof a custom-made Cranioplastic Prosthesis includes the following steps:

• acquisition of the CT scan,according to the precise “Biocad” protocolsending the CT scan to our Laboratories,also by our website www.biocad.it
• check by the Neurosurgeon of the models (24/ 48 hous)
• realization and sterilization of the prosthesis
• sending to the Neurosurgery Medical Centre
• implantation of the prosthesis
