Cranial LOOP™

The Cranial LOOP™-family of cranial fixation systems

Information for medical staff

The Cranial LOOP™-family of cranial fixation systems is an intelligent system for the secure fixation of bone flaps during craniotomies (skull surgery).

A simple and fast 'pull and tighten'-feature allows the surgeon full control. With the aid of three Cranial LOOP™s a normal bone flap can be fixated in less than one minute without the requirement any further equipment.

Simple

  • ready for use
  • ready for use at delivery: Sterile, no instrument tray required.
  • simple and fast implantation without any instruments

 

Secure

  • artifact-free in x-ray, CT, and MRI
  • reduced risk of soft tissue damage due to intelligent design and less abrasive material: PEEK-OPTIMA®
  • PEEK-OPTIMA® Polymer is ISO 10993  US FDA Drug & DMF certified for implantation
  • CE label and FDA authorization

 

Efficient

  • minimal profile (less than 0,3 mm) for excellent cosmetic results
  • 3D-adaptation design guarantees for complete adjustment to the skull preserving its physical shape.
  • adapted for bone strengths between 1,5 und 24 mm

 

Exemples of use

  • pterional craniotomy
  • osteoclastic craniotomy and osteoclastic trephination
  • retrosigmoidal craniotomy
  • hemicraniectomy
  • calotte reimplantation
  • Why close cranial drill holes?

    Skull defects through drill hole trepanation often lead to unwanted scalp deepenings after craniotomies. This cosmetic defect is often neglected by neurosurgeons, because patients recover quickly during short hospitalisations, but is cosmetically unacceptable to the patient. Overmore, scalp depressions worsen when the swelling subsides at an early stage and with atrophy of the soft tissue at a late stage.
