PSI Patient Specific Implants. Derived from CT data for excellent reconstructive results. Better anatomic fit Reduced operating time Satisfying aesthetic results
PSI Patient Specific Implants Intended for the replacement of bony voids in the cranial/ craniofacial skeleton. Features Better anatomic fit versus conventional fixation/ reconstruction methods Reduced operating time compared to traditional reconstruction methods that require extensive contouring Satisfying aesthetic results for surgeon and patient Suitable materials for definitive treatment Impact- and fracture-resistant for optimal protection of underlying structures Autoclavable withstands repeated sterilization Synthes Patient Specific Implants are derived from 1 mm slice DICOM uncompressed CT data, which is obtained from the hospital radiology department. Synthes CMF PSI Patient Specific Implants
Medical imaging software is used to visualize the CT data, and to create an anatomically correct skull model and an implant model. Surgeons have a choice of two biocompatible materials: PEEK (polyetheretherketone) or Commercially pure (CP) titanium Synthes CMF
PSI Patient Specific Implants continued Synthes will fabricate one nonsterile implant for shipment to the surgeon, after receipt of purchase order and design approval. Synthes plates and screws are used to attach the Patient Specific Implant to the native bone. Synthes CMF PSI Patient Specific Implants
Applications Synthes Patient Specific Implants can be designed to fit voids in the cranial and craniofacial skeleton. Cranial Applications Depending on the size (length, width, and height) of the implant required, Synthes may design a single or multi-piece implant. Multi-piece implants allow the surgeon greater flexibility when treating larger defects. 1-piece 2-piece 2-piece Multi-piece implants may be joined together using Synthes standard cranial and craniofacial fixation systems. 2-piece 3-piece 1-piece Craniofacial Applications Onlay Applications 1-piece 3-piece 2-piece onlay 2-piece onlay 3-piece 1-piece 1-piece onlay 1-piece onlay Synthes CMF
Choice of Material PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) Engineered for strength, stability and biocompatibility Radiolucent (minimal MRI artifact) Bone-like strength Surgeon can determine plate and screw placement during surgery Lightweight Autoclavable withstands repeated sterilization Can be used with Synthes cranial and craniofacial fixation systems Implant is 3.0 mm thick (nominal) If modifications of a PEEK implant are required (e.g. drainage, monitoring devices), they can be performed in the OR with standard instruments PEEK Mechanical Properties Cortical Bone PEEK Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) (GPa) 8 24 3.6 4.1 Yield Strength (MPa) 115 113 Notes regarding the use of PEEK Patient Specific Implants: PEEK patient specific implants require minimal (if any) modification. For minor fit modifications, it is suggested that the surgeon modify the patient bone rather than modifying the PEEK patient specific implant. PEEK patient specific implants can be modified with a high speed burr, if needed. It is suggested that the PEEK implants be modified and rinsed in sterile saline solution away from the implant/surgical site, to ensure that particulate debris does not infiltrate the surgical site after any modifications. Standard plates and self-tapping or self-drilling screws can be used to attach the PEEK patient specific implant to the patient. Screw holes, regardless of screw size and type, must be predrilled away from the surgical site. Synthes CMF PSI Patient Specific Implants
Titanium (commercially pure, implant grade) Ultra-high strength Radiopaque Excellent biocompatibility Autoclavable withstands repeated sterilization Requires the use of Synthes Low Profile Neuro or MatrixNEURO plate and screw fixation systems Requires the use of Titanium Low Profile Neuro Machine Screws (488.066) for attachment of the plates to the implant (see Figure 1) Titanium implant is 2.5 mm thick (nominal) 1.6 mm Titanium Machine Screw (488.066) Bone Screw Plate Titanium PSI Implant Bone Figure 1 Titanium Mechanical Properties Cortical Bone Titanium Modulus of Elasticity (stiffness) (GPa) 8 24 103 Yield Strength (MPa) 115 230 (minimum) Notes regarding the use of Titanium Patient Specific Implants: Titanium patient specific implants cannot be modified. If there are any minor fit modifications required, the surgeon must modify the patient s bone. Titanium patient specific implants require the use of Synthes Low Profile Neuro or MatrixNEURO fixation systems (plates and screws). The surgeon must preselect the location of Synthes plates and machine screw holes during the implant design review process. The implant will be provided with threaded screw holes. The Titanium Low Profile Neuro Machine Screws (488.066) are required for attachment of the Low Profile Neuro or MatrixNEURO plates to the titanium implant. Synthes CMF

CT Scanning Protocol Synthes Patient Specific Implants This document describes the guidelines for a CT scan that is taken for the purpose of ordering a Patient Specific Implant from Synthes. Notice: Patient Specific Implants are intended for the replacement of bony voids in the cranial/craniofacial skeleton. Synthes CT Scanning Protocol can be obtained from a Synthes Sales Consultant or at http://products.synthes.com. Scanning Instructions Ensure scanner is DICOM compliant. Refer to supported scanner list below. Scans must be less than four months old. Data must be on CD or Magnetic Optical Disk (MOD) only. Films will not be accepted. Scan all slices of the study in the same direction. Align the patient in a way that prevents as many artifacts as possible in the resulting images. It is advised not to use a gantry tilt because data may be of inferior quality. Scan with the same slice spacing; the slice spacing must be less than or equal to the slice thickness. The slice thickness should be between 0.625 mm and 1.25 mm. Reconstruct the images with a 512 x 512 matrix. Only the axial images are required. All slices must have the same field of view, the same reconstruction center, and the same table height. Send the images (DICOM slices) to the surgeon.

3 Synthes designs the implant and provides a quote to the customer. The computer images and/or skull model will be sent to the surgeon for review and approval. Note: If the CT data cannot be reconstructed into a 3-D format, Synthes will request a modified scan. If the defect is not clearly defined, Synthes will contact the surgeon to verify the margins of the defect. In both instances, additional time will be needed. Most defects have borders which are clearly defined on the CT scan, and a quotation can be prepared upon receipt of the scan and the RFQ form. Partially resorbed bone within the defect area (highlighted red), removal of existing implants, unclear defects and resections are some situations which will require consultation with the surgeon to define the implant configuration before the quotation process can begin. Synthes CMF
Ordering Process continued 4 Review and approval of the design can be done in one of two ways: 1. A skull model and an implant model are shipped to the surgeon, or 2. Computer images of the defect, the implant and the implant fitted into the defect are sent electronically to the surgeon. 1 2 5 Surgeon approves the design. Prompt approval of the design is required for the implant to be manufactured in a timely fashion. If changes are required at this stage, the model will be modified, reviewed and ap proved by the surgeon again. This will delay the start of implant manufacture. 6 When the purchase order and design approval are received, Synthes starts manu facturing the implant. After manufacturing, one nonsterile implant will be shipped overnight to the surgeon. Synthes CMF PSI Patient Specific Implants
