Intended purpose
Intended for use in the fixation of bones of the craniofacial and midfacial skelton affected by trauma or for reconstruction.
Functional description
The Delta system consists of resorbable bone fixation plates, meshes and screws made from a terpolymer of polylactic and polyglycolic acids. The Delta system is used in the fixation of bones of the craniofacial and midfacial skelton affected by trauma or for reconstruction. The terpolymer degrade and resorbs in-vivo by hydrolysis into lactic and glycolic acids which are then metabolized by the body.
