Function and area of implementation

The purpose of development is to reduce the duration of inpatient treatment of patients with fractures of the mandible. It can be used for metal osteosynthesis of the mandible fractures at the first and second stages of medical evacuation in combat conditions.

General technical characteristics, essence of invention

The design of the plates is featured by a reduced amount of metal and hydroxyapatite coating, which contributes to better healing of the fracture line.

Comparison with world analogues, main advantages of invention

• Improved osteosynthesis due to reduced contact (surface of the plates) with bone tissue, retaining jaw fixation without displacement.
• Improved fixation stability of bone fragments.
• Reduced manufacturing cost of the plates.

Intellectual property protection status

Two patents are received.

Market demand

The plates of new configuration can be used in the clinical practice of surgical and orthopedic dentistry.

Status of invention

The plates are used in the clinical practice.
