Implants
Every implant we provide is a step toward healing – not just physically, but emotionally too. For patients who have experienced trauma, congenital conditions, or surgical interventions, our implants offer more than reconstruction – they offer restoration. Imagine a patient looking in the mirror and seeing themselves again, or smiling freely again, knowing they’ve reclaimed a part of themselves. That’s the power of healing we strive to deliver.
For surgeons, these implants offer enhanced precision and flexibility in the operating room, adapting seamlessly to each patient’s unique anatomy and surgical requirements. The availability of patient-specific models streamlines preoperative planning and reduces intraoperative time, contributing to more efficient procedures.
For patients, these implants promote better integration with natural tissue, lowering the risk of complications and supporting a smoother, more predictable healing process – ultimately leading to improved outcomes and a higher quality of life.
Overview
Su-Por medical implants are designed for optimal
biocompatibility and durability, ensuring long-term success in various surgical applications.
Su-Por surgical implants are used in the reconstruction and augmentation of the craniomaxillofacial area. Su-Por is made from pure high-density polyethylene (HDPE). When processed, Su-Por becomes a porous graft that allows tissue integration. This top-performing material has been supported with clinical data since 1985. Su-Por graft material has superior suturability, is easy to cut, and holds its shape when bent to meet patient needs.
Features and benefits
Integration
The interconnecting open pore structure of Su-Por surgical Implants allows for tissue ingrowth.
Modification
Su-Por surgical implants may be carved using a scalpel, a burr, or cut with scissors. Contour adjustments may be made intraoperatively.
Sterilisation
All Su-Por surgical Implants are provided STERILE. Su-Por Patient-Specific Implants are provided with two STERILE implants, a non-sterile sample, and a medical model of the defect for surgical planning within 8 business days.
Fixation
Fixation of Su-Por surgical implants may be achieved using sutures, surgical fixation screws, or K-wire. Fixation screws may be placed directly through the implant without pre-drilled holes.
