Mandibular defects due to trauma, infections, or tumors considerably impair the patient's quality of life, not only physiologically but also psychologically. Despite the progress made in microvascular reconstruction techniques it remains a demanding challenge to return the mandible to its original anatomical shape and restore functional and aesthetic aspects.
Product improvements in recent years have mainly addressed computerized approaches in combination with patient-specific resection guides and implants, with the aid of which preoperative planning can be transferred to real-time surgery.
In the field of standardized products there has been very little progress, although there is a need for improvement and innovation here too.
The L1® Mandible ReconGuide provides an innovative, reusable standard solution that assists the surgeon with conventional resection in everyday clinical routine.
Resection templates
1. Resection template for jaw resection
The individual setting of the desired resection lengths allows adaptation to corresponding anatomical conditions and can be transferred 1:1 to the fibula template.
2. Resection template for fibula reconstruction
After resection of the fibula bone segments, they are brought into the desired angular position with the help of a special fixation bracket.
Mini plates
Facilitation and time advantage in the fixation of the graft with pre-bent and specially developed mini plates with profile thickness 1.0 mm.
Storage
In addition to easy handling, for example thanks to the instruments arranged according to the surgical procedure and assembly sequence, the storage system also impresses with optimized reprocessability thanks to the proven honeycomb design.
