Overview

Sculpted Precision, Surgical Artistry

AccuShape Cranial Implants in PEEK or 3D Printed Titanium are designed from detailed patient CT data for conditions including cranioplasty, temporal hollowing, and bone flap replacement. AccuShape PEEK closely matches the strength and characteristics of cortical bone for a biocompatible, radiolucent, and fast-delivery design. AccuShape Titanium uses a medical-grade titanium alloy for a robust, biocompatible solution. Either enables complex anatomical solutions with resolution contouring and no need for fixation plates, and are fully compatible with all approved neuro fixation screws.

Features

1

Complete Customization

Our implants are expertly sculpted to each individual patient for each individual surgeon, creating truly custom skull implant solutions. AccuShape offers customizable features including pterional extension, implant thickness, and edge fit, optimizing both functional and aesthetic outcomes.

2

Surgeon-Specific Designs

Our surgeon-centered design process allows for customization of plate thickness, screw hole placement, plate length, contour, and more advanced features for tailoring to unique clinical objectives and the patient’s specific anatomy. Surgeons collaborate directly with our MedCAD design team for fully customized plates built to exact specifications, rather than cookie-cutter solutions.

Optimized Material Options

  • AccuShape PEEK cranial implants utilize a PEEK polymer that closely matches the strength and characteristics of cortical bone. With a biocompatible, radiolucent, and fast-delivery design, AccuShape PEEK implants provide a seamless, efficient solution, all with an industry-leading quick turnaround time. 
  • AccuShape Titanium cranial implants are made from a medical-grade titanium alloy, offering a robust, biocompatible solution. These implants offer all the benefits of custom design with no need for fixation plates and are fully compatible with all neuro fixation screws. Our advanced 3D printing capabilities allow for more complex anatomical solutions and higher resolution contouring. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we do starts with patient scan data, which gets converted into a 3D-CAD file. Then, with surgeon input, we design, manufacture and deliver the associated medical devices.

A Host Bone is a more focused model that highlights just the cranial defect area (the portion of the skull involved in the surgery). The host bone model is often a partial skull designed specifically for the implant or reconstruction, helping the surgeon visualize the exact anatomy they’ll be repairing or reconstructing. A full skull model includes the entire skull based on the available field of view in the patient’s CT scan, providing a comprehensive view of the entire cranial structure. It’s ideal when the surgeon needs a complete representation of the skull to better plan the surgery or visualize the overall anatomy.

For Cranial Implants made from PEEK or Titanium, the implant body thickness typically ranges from 2.0 to 5.0 mm, depending on specific needs and the patient’s anatomy. With a Titanium cranial implant, the bone onlay can be thinner, with a range of 0.4 to 0.75 mm for more delicate or precise applications. Each implant is tailored to fit the individual patient, ensuring the right balance of strength, durability, and customization for the best surgical outcome.
