Surgeons FAQ

Aren’t Patient Specific Implants really expensive?

Yes and No. Since PSI’s are designed specifically for each patient, a lot of labor is involved and they cannot be mass produced; this translates to a higher initial price. However, because of the many benefits of PSI’s, they are eventually the cheaper option if you compare the total and long term costs.

I am based outside of Europe, can I still order your products?

Patient Specific Implants are medical devices, most countries require import documents and their own approval. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.

Anatomical models do not have these restrictions and can be shipped anywhere.

Do Xilloc’s implants bear the CE mark?

Medical Device Directive states that patient specific implants are categorized as; “Custom made devices, which means: any device specifically made in accordance with a fully qualified medical practitioner’s written prescription who gives, under his responsibility, specific design characteristics and is intended for the sole use of a particular patient.”

“Custom-made devices being placed on the market to be put into service cannot bear the CE marking”

Also under the new MDR, custom-made devices cannot be CE-marked.

Quality and patient safety are important and therefore Xilloc is certified according to ISO13485:2016
