Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A non-patient specific implant for neuroplastic surgery is provided. The non-patient specific implant includes a three-dimensional mesh. The three-dimensional mesh comprises titanium. The three-dimensional mesh is pre-folded. The three-dimensional mesh is configured to replace a space for a hard tissue and/or a space for a soft tissue. The three-dimensional mesh has a three-dimensional triangular shape.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention is claimed as follows: 1. A non-patient specific craniofacial implant for neuroplastic surgery, the non-patient specific implant comprising: a three-dimensional titanium mesh, wherein the three-dimensional titanium mesh is pre-folded, wherein the pre-folded three-dimensional titanium mesh has a three-dimensional triangular shape, wherein the three-dimensional titanium mesh includes a filling space with a predetermined volume, wherein the filling space is formed within three side edges and a curved central portion of the three-dimensional titanium mesh, wherein the filling space is sized and configured to fill a volume of space for a hard tissue of a cranial bone and/or a soft tissue of a cranial bone to be replaced with the three-dimensional titanium mesh. 2. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein the soft tissue comprises muscle and/or fat overlying a cranial bone. 3. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein a size of the three-dimensional titanium mesh is in a range of about 5 cm to about 10 cm. 4. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein a size of the three-dimensional titanium mesh is in a range of about 10 cm to about 15 cm. 5. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein a size of the three-dimensional titanium mesh is in a range of about 15 cm to about 20 cm. 6. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional titanium mesh is more rigid than porous polyethylene and silicone. 7. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional titanium mesh is configured to be placed in a temporal fossa area. 8. The non-patient specific craniofacial implant of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional titanium mesh comprises one or more holes configured to receive a fastener.
