Cranial Fixation
The SonicWeld Rx system has proven itself as a fast, simple way to fixate cranial bones in craniotomy, cranioplasty, and skull base procedures.
SonicWeld Rx Benefits over traditional suture, titanium, or screw fixation:
- More stable than resorbable screw fixation
- Twice as fast to insert compared to resorbable screw fixation
- No torque is required, eliminating tapping, stripping, and fatigue
- Radiolucent implants allow for better imaging
- Resorbable polymer ideal for pediatric patients
We have shown that our experience with bone fixation of the pediatric skull and face using a bioresorbable implant system with ultrasound-aided pin fixation is safe and effective in a variety of pediatric neurosurgical procedures. Fixation of the bone is rapid, efficient, and stable, providing satisfactory cosmetic results over time.
