PLATTFUSSIMPLANTAT

摘要

The platypodia correction implant comprises a central cylindrical body with an expansion cone and an outer biocompatible/biodegradable crown. The implant consists of three sections - a cylindrical central section (1) with an external threaded surface (7) and locking head (5); an expansion cone (2) with an internal thread (9) to engage with the threaded surface (7) and an outer crown (3) expanded by the cone when it is moved along the central section towards its proximal end. The outer crown is made from a deformable biocompatible and/or biodegradable material, while the central body and expansion cone are made from a metal, e.g. titanium or stainless steel.
