Maxillo-mandibular fixation apparatus and method |
摘要 |
The present disclosure provides for an apparatus and method for supporting a maxillo-mandibular fixation by securing the maxillary teeth and mandibular teeth together in a faster and less harmful manner, includes a floss-wire component for circumdental wiring a tooth initially by flossing the interproximal space of a tooth therewith and thereafter causing circumdental wiring of a tooth when the floss-wire component is pulled, the floss-wire component having a distal portion composed of a floss-like material and a proximal portion composed of a wire-like material, a clip having an anchoring point and grasping point, the clip interacts with the floss-wire component, thereby causing the clip and the floss-wire to secure tightly to a tooth, and a bar positioned between the buccal surface of one or more teeth and one or more clips, the bar having a plurality of indices to increase the stabilization of one or more clips. |

1. An apparatus for supporting a maxillo-mandibular fixation of the maxillofacial region by securing the maxillary teeth and mandibular teeth together in a faster and less harmful manner, thereby stabilizing the bones of the jaws to effectuate proper healing of facial fractures, the apparatus comprising:
a floss-wire component for circumdental wiring a tooth initially by flossing the interproximal space of a tooth therewith and thereafter causing circumdental wiring of a tooth when the floss-wire component is pulled, the floss-wire component having a distal portion composed of a floss-like material and a proximal portion composed of a wire-like material wherein the floss-like material and the wire-like material join together at a floss-wire junction; a clip having an anchoring point that anchors the wire-like material of the floss-wire component thereto and having a grasping point that grasps the wire-like material of the floss-wire component thereto, the clip interacts with the floss-wire component, thereby causing the clip and the floss-wire to secure tightly to a tooth; and a bar positioned between the buccal surface of one or more teeth and one or more clips, the bar having a plurality of indices to increase the stabilization of one or more clips, the bar interacts with the clip and the floss-wire component, thereby securing to a tooth. |
