3D planning for neurosurgery

The neurosurgery-specific workflow simplifies the preoperative 3D surgical planning process. 

Benefits 

Thermal behavior

The risk of head pain due to temperature change with porous implants is very low as the temperature remains close to the physiologic temperature (excellent exchange area/volume ratio).

Surgical comfort  

Determine every aspect of the implant design — shape, number, and position of the screws and suture channels — before you perform the surgery on your patient. 

Quality assurance  

CE-marked solutions, developed for easy fixation and immediate results. They are tailored to be a perfect match for your patient’s anatomy.  

High complexity 

3D printing offers high complexity in designs for a variety of cases. 

Precise and easy fixation  

Thanks to osteosynthesis screws determined according to the anatomical obstacles. 

Proven production 

Materialise Personalized Solutions porous implants are made using 3D printing. They are made from commercially pure titanium, using a high-quality, reliable, and fully approved process. 

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 on the 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
