SynPOR Porous Polyethylene Implants 
 
SynPOR implants are ideal for craniofacial reconstruction and augmentation.  SynPOR implants are manufactured from an inert, nonabsorbable polymer formulated to contain a network of open and interconnecting pores approximately 100 – 250 µm in size.
 
Key Features & Benefits

  • Interconnecting porous structure supports fibrovascular tissue ingrowth which promotes integration with surrounding tissues
  • Nonabsorbable, biocompatible, semirigid material is strong yet flexible
  • Contourable and easily shaped
  • Implants may be fixated with screws, tacks, wire, or suture


Indications

  • SynPOR implants are intended for use in non-load-bearing applications in craniofacial reconstruction, cosmetic surgery, and repair of craniofacial trauma.

Contraindications*

SynPOR implants are not intended for use in the presence of:

  • Active or latent infection
  • Inadequate coverage of healthy, vascularized tissue
  • Full load-bearing applications
  • Systemic disorders that cause poor wound healing or may lead to soft tissue deterioration over the implant

* For complete contraindications, adverse events, and cautions, please see the complete Directions for Use.
