A small, implantable sheet of firm material that is attached with screws to fractured craniofacial bone, to bridge and stabilize the fracture gap, and shield the site from stress as the bone heals; the material cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes. The device may also be used for craniofacial reconstructive procedures.
