Benefits
Thermal behavior
The risk of head pain due to temperature change with porous implants is very low as the temperature remains close to the physiologic temperature (excellent exchange area/volume ratio).
Surgical comfort
Determine every aspect of the implant design — shape, number, and position of the screws and suture channels — before you perform the surgery on your patient.
Quality assurance
CE-marked solutions, developed for easy fixation and immediate results. They are tailored to be a perfect match for your patient’s anatomy.
High complexity
3D printing offers high complexity in designs for a variety of cases.
Precise and easy fixation
Thanks to osteosynthesis screws determined according to the anatomical obstacles.
Proven production
Materialise Personalized Solutions porous implants are made using 3D printing. They are made from commercially pure titanium, using a high-quality, reliable, and fully approved process.
Product highlights
Porous titanium implants
Designed by our specialized clinical engineers and made to perfectly fit your patient's anatomy.
Polyamide osteotomy guides
If one or more resections are needed, Materialise offers osteotomy and pre-drilling guides. Fully personalized in either titanium, these guides ensure that the simulation is properly transferred to the OR.
