Benefits

Delivering flexibility with our range of high-quality solutions

Whether it’s a mandible, midface, or cranial vault reconstruction, our cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) solutions are tailored to your needs, regardless of the etiology or graft.

Accuracy, comfort, and speed

Our dedicated reconstruction module allows simple transfer to the OR for efficient surgical planning and adaptations, including backward planning, the incorporation of dental arches, and dental implant positioning.

Improve free fibula flap reconstruction

Virtual surgical planning improves reconstruction accuracy and provides significantly greater symmetry than the traditional freehand technique. It's notably superior for condyle positioning and complex reconstructions with multiple segments.​

Exceptional, personalized service

Collaborate with local clinically focused engineers throughout the planning process to get the best possible outcome and ensure your surgical preferences are taken into account. Partner with the same expert throughout the entire case.

Workflow

1. Patient scan
Upload the patient’s (CB)CT scan and dental information to SurgiCase Online

2. Interactive planning
A clinical engineer contacts you to participate in an interactive online planning session to define the surgical plan

3. Design approval
Review the surgical plan and device design online in 3D with SurgiCase Viewer

4. Production of splints, guides, and implants
Your orthognathic splints, surgical guides, and personalized implants are 3D printed within our certified quality management system

5. Surgery
Use the delivered implants and instruments in surgery to reach accurate and predictable results
