Cranioplasty

Cranioplasty is a neurosurgical procedure used to repair cranial defects.
This procedure restores cranial function and the aesthetics of the skull, while
protecting the brain. Patients will be relieved even psychologically and will
see their social skills improved.

Mendec® Cranio​

Malleable PMMA resin developed to repair
skull holes, craniotomy cuts, and other cranial defects.

Cranos

Customised PMMA implant created based on
CT scans, for reconstructing even large bone defects.
Available also in two antibiotic versions.

RADIOPAQUE PMMA RESIN

MENDEC® CRANIO

Mendec® Cranio is an acrylic resin developed
for cranioplasty procedures.
It is a safe and reliable solution for repairing skull
holes, craniotomy cuts, and other cranial defects.
This resin is extremely malleable and perfectly
adapts to the cranial defect.
Once the resin has hardened, it can be drilled and
milled. It can also be used for fixation by means
of plates and screws or suture threads.
The formula includes barium sulphate, which makes
resin radiopaque and thus perfectly visible on
X-rays.

ADVANTAGES

Malleability:

shortly after mixing, Mendec® Cranio becomes extremely
malleable, allowing for prolonged surgical manipulation. Mendec® Cranio
remains malleable for a long time, allowing the reconstruction of the bone
defect. Once the resin has hardened, it can be drilled and milled. It can also
be used for fixation by means of plates and screws or suture threads.

Perfect reconstruction:

thanks to its malleability, Mendec® Cranio can reconstruct the cranial defect, achieving excellent aesthetics. Its texture keeps the given shape even before the resin hardens. Therefore, exothermic polymerisation must occur on an external medium, away from the meninges.

Safety:

PMMA is a biocompatible material with excellent mechanical properties: elasticity, resistance and lightness. PMMA is widely used in clinical applications. Its safety has been reliably demonstrated

Reduced toxicity:

thanks to our special production process, Mendec® Cranio
needs less liquid (MMA). This means reduced toxicity and lower polymerisation
temperature
