Implants

Su-Por medical implants are designed for optimal
biocompatibility and durability, ensuring long-term success in various surgical applications.

Overview

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.

Surgeon insight

“The return of range of motion is much faster, they get much better motion and they get it quicker. They're out of the hospital sooner, their pain is better and they seem to get back to the activities that they want to do at a much quicker rate.”
