Oral & maxillofacial surgery reaches new heights of innovation with OsteoMed’s unique line of craniomaxillofacial products. Our high-quality implants and instruments provide surgeons with multiple options for CMF Trauma, Mandibular Reconstruction, and Orthognathic care. The comprehensive OsteoMed product line includes:

• CFx System: The CFx System is a modular set which may be customized with three implant modules on the bottom level and system instrumentation on the top. It can be modified for the specific needs of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, including trauma, mandible reconstruction, and orthognathic-specific implant blocks .
• MFx: Designed specifically to accommodate a range of mandibular trauma and reconstruction (including elective procedures), the MFx has the same footprint as OsteoMed’s CFx system to provide modular capabilities that reduce hospital inventory while increasing treatment options.
• Orthognathic Systems: OsteoMed offers two dedicated orthognathic modules which include implants specifically designed for orthognathic movements of the maxilla and mandible. Both modules are fully compatible with the CFx System.
• 3-D Digital Surgical Planning: The DSP (3-D Digital Surgical Planning) service is a 3-D computerized environment in which a surgeon can accurately plan an entire craniomaxillofacial surgical procedure to compare pre-op and post-op side-by-side, identify potential issues, predict soft tissue and skeletal repositioning and visualize occlusal planes before the first incision is made.
• Logic and Logic Jr. Mandibular Distraction Systems: Our premier intraoral bone distractor with curved and straight bars activated by threaded wire for mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Available in sizes for adults and children, Logic and Logic Jr. use patented flexible wire for ease of activation through soft tissue. The wire can be cut during the consolidation period to promote healing and reduce danger from unwanted complications.
• Spectrum LeFort III: This mid-face distraction system does not require external halo devices or wires, improving patient satisfaction and easier surgical use. With easily-accessible activation points, the versatile Spectrum can be used for LeFort II distraction or combined LeFort I and III procedures.
• Mincro: The Mincro bone graft regeneration fixation kit contains everything the oral surgeon needs to stabilize bone grafts or temporary fixation of barrier membranes (non-resorbable) most often utilized in targeted regeneration of bone. The kit includes all necessary screws and instrumentation.
• OMI Orthodontic Anchor System: Our most up-to-date anchor system includes implants and instrumentation to create a temporary point of attachment fixed for orthodontic applications.  
• RidgeForm Mesh: Designed specifically for reconstruction of the alveolar ridge, RidgeForm Mesh supports and stabilizes bone grafts at sites of bony defect. Adaptable for full or partial ridge augmentation, RidgeForm mesh is available in convenient preformed patterns and sizes and flat sheet patterns.

OsteoMed’s distinctive line of neurosurgical products brings state-of-the-art medical science into practical medical application. Neurosurgeons will appreciate the precision, ease of access, and innovative design of OsteoMed surgical instruments and implants. Our highly adaptable line includes:

• Profile 0: This singularly low profile neurosurgical plating system has a market-leading .25mm profile which provides plate-and-screw strength from uniquely designed implants and virtually eliminates patient palpability. Complementing the implants is an improved ergonomic screwdriver and compact tray design for low-impact in the surgical suite and high-impact in patient recovery.
• Fast-Flap: Fix a cranial flap even in dense bone using patented Auto-Drive™ screws—without pilot drilling. Use OsteoMed’s disposable battery screwdriver OsteoDriver or drive the screws manually. Optimized mesh designs which allow for creaseless three-dimensional bending, skull base options and varied plate patterns combine in a comprehensive, yet cost-effective system that includes all necessary instruments, screws, and implants.
• OsteoFlap: OsteoMed produced the first instrument-free cranial clamp system: the MR-compatible OsteoFlap. Fixate any bone thickness without the need for extra tools. OsteoFlap implants comes sterile-packaged and ready for immediate use in a range of sizes.
• OsteoForm Mesh: This unique, formable CP titanium craniofacial mesh balances strength with enhanced contourable capability. When fixated with OsteoMed’s self-drilling Auto-Drive™ screws, these meshes are the perfect standalone solution for cranial defects or as scaffolding for OsteoVation bone void filler.
• OsteoMatch: The OsteoMatch product line offers custom-contoured patient-matched implants with beveled and textured edges that are designed to facilitate micro-ingrowth of skull tissues. Solid, non-porous surfaces, fine-tuned to complement neighboring bone using a 3-D skull model, produce unmatched aesthetic results and long-lasting patient satisfaction.
• OsteoVation: OsteoMed’s cutting-edge calcium phosphate cement is the most superior option currently available to neurosurgeons. It’s biocompatible, sets wet, won’t wash out, and is mixed and applied easily. OsteoVation can be manipulated immediately after transfer to the surgical site allowing aesthetic refinement, and is “implant-ready” soon after implantation for use with plates and screws.
• OsteoDriver: The disposable OsteoDriver comes sterile-packed and is battery-powered, alleviating the downtime for repairs and autoclaving, and has the necessary torque, speed, and accessories necessary in the O.R.

At OsteoMed, we understand that successful patient outcomes rely upon the design, manufacture and service of high quality, innovative and cost-effective surgical products. For more information on our neurosurgical products, call us at 888-370-9997 or visit www.osteomed.com.

ADDISON, Texas (PRWEB) March 05, 2013

OsteoMed, LLC, a leading, privately held medical device company specializing in small bone implants and biologics, has announced the launch of OsteoVation QWIK. OsteoVation QWIK consists of a proprietary composite of calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate granules, and is indicated to fill bony voids and gaps of the skeletal system. The unique formulation creates a macroporous construct that allows faster bone remodeling, while maintaining targeted compressive strength. OsteoVation QWIK is packaged in both impact and Inject formulas that provide surgical options for both traditional open or minimally-invasive surgical procedures. Both formulations are osteoconductive and provide a scaffold to enhance the bone during the healing process.

Dave Kelly, Vice President of Small Bone Orthopedics said, “All of us at OsteoMed are excited about the market introduction of OsteoVation QWIK. This new bone void filler expands our current biologic portfolio and provides surgeons with another best-in-class product from OsteoMed. OsteoVation QWIK is the perfect complementary product to our existing Small Bone Orthopedics product offering. OsteoVation QWIK provides surgeons the ability to incorporate this innovative bone void filler while using other OsteoMed products such as ExtremiFix, our Large Cannulated Screw System, Hand Plating System (HPS) and the Foot Plating System (FPS) where indicated. OsteoVation QWIK is just one of several exciting new products scheduled to launch in 2013.”
