Cranial plates

Custom titanium, acrylic and silicone inserts are planned and created to healing bone lost in the skull to reestablish security and shape. The implant is the given to the specialist to implantation.

Gold eyelid weight appraisal and fabrication

A tantalum weight is applied remotely to your upper eyelid to survey the suitable weight needed for top conclusion. A gold eyelid weight is then produced and given to the specialist to implantation.

Surgical planning

State of the art 3D technology is utilized to design complex reconstructive medical procedure and plan custom inserts and careful aides for added substance fabricate (3D imprinting) in titanium.
