Maxillofacial Plates and Screws: Innovative Solutions for Facial Trauma

Maxillofacial plates and screws are specialized medical devices primarily used in the treatment of facial and jaw fractures. Engineered to exacting standards, these plates act as internal fixation devices that help stabilize and support the repair of shattered or broken bones within the maxillofacial region. Crafted from biocompatible materials, the plates are designed to be surgically implanted and within the body, often indefinitely. Their main functions include providing structural integrity, enabling faster healing, and minimizing the risk of complications such as non-union or malunion of fractures. Technological features include variable plate designs to accommodate different anatomies and injury patterns, as well as self-tapping screws that facilitate easier insertion and reduce surgery time. These devices find extensive application inognathic surgery, trauma care, and reconstructive procedures, among others.
