Innovative InterFix technology: Place, Drill & Fixate
Our patented tangential fixation technology InterFix eliminates the need for additional plating and fixation systems and offers a fixation mechanism that is not palpable by the patient.
- the ideal screw locations, directions and screw lengths are pre-planned, based on the shape and thickness of the patient’s bone.
- the screws are directed tangentially into the bone. Therefore, the fixation is completely impalpable.
- only few screws are required (on average only 5-9 screws for a large calvarial implant). No plates needed.
During surgery, the implant is placed into the defect, holes are pre-drilled into the cortical bone and a screw is positioned into each hole. Advice on maximum screw length may be engraved next to the fixation holes.
