Orbital floor and wall repairs are notoriously difficult because their shape is critical to visual function.
There is not a one-fits-all shape as every orbit is different. The extent of the defect also varies. Hence a functional repair needs to restore the original contour and therefore be customised.
It is also important that the implant is physically able to be fitted and can be accurately positioned in the orbit, while avoiding critical structures.
Our implants are made of titanium or PEEK. They fit over the orbital rim with screw attachment.
Advantages:
Available in titanium and PEEK
Fast production turnaround, which facilitates enormously your planning, logistics and stock management, hence reducing costs and potential waste
The implant is stiffer than mesh so will hold shape much better during its positioning
Reference points such as the alignment with the infraorbital foramen are indicated on the implant as much as possible to help with positioning
Patient specific titanium implants are much cheaper than those in porous polyethylene
