RAPIDSORB RAPID RESORBABLE FIXATION SYSTEM A new resorbable approach to Alveolar bone augmentation
RAPIDSORB RAPID RESORBABLE FIXATION SYSTEM Bone Graft Containment The RapidSorb Rapid Resorbable Fixation System can be used for bone graft containment in the maxilla or mandible and can be cut and contoured in a hot water bath to fit the bony anatomy. Features Rapid resorbable implants maintain appropriate fixation for bone healing for approximately eight (8) weeks postoperatively. Resorbs in 12 months Degrades without late inflammatory complications and foreign-body responses that have been observed with semicrystalline structures such as poly (L-lactide) 1,2 Eliminates secondary surgeries for implant removal Proven biocompatible material 3 Radiolucent polymer does not interfere with intraor postoperative radiographs 4,5 Polymer strength is not affected by radiation therapy 6,7 Case Study Intraoperative photo of horizontal and vertical augmentation of mandibular central incisors, using RapidSorb mesh and screws. 1.5 mm RapidSorb contourable mesh, 0.5 mm thick is fixated with two resorbable screws apical to teeth #23 and #26.* 1.

INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS Indications The DePuy Synthes Rapid Resorbable Fixation System is intended for use in fracture repair and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult populations. In addition, resorbable meshes, sheets, screws, and tacks may be used in non-load-bearing applications for maintaining the relative position of, and/or containing, bony fragments, bone grafts (autograft or allograft), or bone graft substitutes in reconstruction of the craniofacial or mandibular areas. Contraindications* These devices are not intended for use in load-bearing applications, such as the mandible, unless used in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation. The DePuy Synthes Rapid Resorbable System is not intended for areas with active or latent infection, or for patient conditions including limited blood supply or insufficient quantity or quality of bone. These devices are not intended for use in the spine. * Please see Directions for Use for complete contraindications, warnings, and precautions.

BASIC SCIENCE The implants of the RapidSorb Rapid Resorbable Fixation System are manufactured from 85:15 poly (L-lactide-coglycolide). This copolymer is formed by combining L-lactide and glycolide, which maximizes the advantageous characteristics of each component and provides a material well suited for craniofacial reconstruction (Figure 1). 1 85:15 poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) is a linear, substantially amorphous, random copolymer, and retains approximately 85% of its initial bending strength after 8 weeks (Figure 2). A significant benefit of this composition is the amorphous microstructure, which is readily resorbed by the body (Figure 3). First, water penetrates the bulk of the device and breaks the chemical bonds along the backbone of the polymer chains in a process called hydrolysis. As the bonds are broken, producing shorter polymer chains, the molecular weight of the polymer decreases, and the strength of the material decreases. Eventually, the material loses its integrity and breaks down into smaller and smaller particles. These smaller pieces are then phagocytized (ingested and digested by the cells of the body). The polymer is broken down into lactic and glycolic acids, which are subsequently eliminated through natural body metabolism in the form of water and CO 2, without toxic tissue accumulation. 8 L-Lactide (85%) L-lactide polymers are semi-crystalline, characterized by high strength and a long degradation time.

RAPIDSORB IMPLANTS Screws Available in 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm diameters Cruciform recess allows easy pickup, insertion, and removal Emergency screws can be placed easily by tapping through the original screw 2.0 mm screws can be used with 1.5 mm plates as primary or emergency screws Tacks Available in 1.5 mm diameter Simple drill-and-push insertion eliminates the need for tapping and threading Shear strength comparable to Synthes 1.5 mm rapid resorbable cortex screws Centering socket helps maintain alignment between tack and driver during insertion Mesh Contourable mesh permits optimal anatomic conformity without cutting or kinking. Cutting the mesh along the long slots gives the user a smooth edge with which to work (recommended minimum plate size after cutting is 2 round holes x 3 round holes, see picture at right).
