Jaw-bone-positioning equipment - has connecting component between bases on bones which can be made rigid or flexible, typically elastic hose filled with hardening plastics material

摘要

The equipment has two bases (18, 20) fixed respectively to a first bone and a second one or piece of one. The component connecting the two bases can be in a flexible or a rigid state, and typically comprises an elastic hose which can be filled with hardening plastics when desired. The component can be detachable from the bases, which are of metal, one or both of them comprising a plate with one or more screw-holes and an extension fixed to it and which the connecting component is secured. USE/ADVANTAGE - Bone-positioning equipment is quick to use during surgery and largely avoids stress during installation.
