BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm

BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm Indications

Plates are intended for oral, maxillofacial surgery; trauma and reconstructive surgery, specifically for fractures of the subcondylar region of the mandible and fractures of the condylar basis region of the mandible.

BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm Contraindications

Plate is contraindicated for use in Acute or chronic, local or systemic infections, Allergy to implant material and Insufficient bone quality to secure implant. BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm Precautions

• Confirm functionality of instruments and check for wear during reprocessing. Replace worn or damaged instruments prior to use.
• It is recommended to use the instruments identified for this plate.
• Handle devices with care and dispose worn bone cutting instruments in a sharps container.
• Always irrigate and apply suction for removal of debris potentially generated during implantation or removal.

BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm Warnings

• Plate can break during use (when subjected to excessive forces). While the surgeon must make the final decision on removal of the broken part based on associated risk in doing so, we recommend that whenever possible and practical for the individual patient, the broken part should be removed. Be aware that implants are not as strong as native bone. Implants subjected to substantial loads may fail.
• Instruments, screws and cut plates may have sharp edges or moving joints that may pinch or tear user’s glove or skin.
• Take care to remove all fragments that are not fixated during the surgery.
• While the surgeon must make the final decision on implant removal, we recommend that whenever possible and practical for the individual patient, fixation devices should be removed once their service as an aid to healing is accomplished. Implant removal should be followed by adequate post-operative management to avoid refracture.

BMR-Mandibular Reconstruction 1.5, 2.0,& 2.5mm General Adverse Events

As with all major surgical procedures, risks, side effects and adverse events can occur. While many possible reactions may occur, some of the most common include: Problems resulting from anesthesia and patient positioning (e.g. nausea, vomiting, dental injuries, neurological impairments, etc.), thrombosis, embolism, infection, nerve and/or tooth root damage or injury of other critical structures including blood vessels, excessive bleeding, damage to soft tissues incl. swelling, abnormal scar formation, functional impairment of the musculoskeletal system, pain, discomfort or abnormal sensation due to the presence of the device, allergy or hypersensitivity reactions, side effects associated with hardware prominence, loosening, bending, or breakage of the device, mal-union, non-union or delayed union which may lead to breakage of the implant, reoperation.
