The Synthes External Midface Distractor is an external distraction osteogenesis device that attaches to the cranium and midface and is used to gradually lengthen the midface at the LeFort I, II, and/or III levels (including monobloc).

Key Features & Benefits

• Self-drilling titanium cranial pins for secure bone engagement.
• Multiple cranial pin location options for stability of headframe placement.
• Preassembled components for quick device assembly on the operating room.
• Internal hardware options for tooth-borne or bone-borne fixation.
• Multiple pre-, intra-, and postoperative adjustments for vertical, horizontal, sagittal, and occlusal vector control. Headframe design allows incremental medial/lateral (ML) and anterior/posterior (AP) adjustments.

Indications

• Correct severe midface deficiencies
• Craniofacial surgery
