METHOD FOR FABRICATING CRANIAL PLATE FOR CRANIOPLASTY

摘要

A method for fabricating a cranial plate for cranioplasty is disclosed. The method comprises steps of receiving the data MRI or CT scan of defected area, converting the received data into a 3D data, creating a virtual cranial plate design, sending the virtual design to the surgeon for approval, printing a custom mold initial plate for deformity using low cost 3D in thermoplastic, fabricating the mold using low cost materials and injection molding of bio compatible polymers for benefit of cost, strength and uniformity.
