Basic Science The implants of the RAPIDSORB Rapid Resorbable Fixation System are manufactured from 85:15 poly (L-lactide-coglycolide). This copolymer is formed by combining L-lactide and glycolide, which maximizes the advantageous characteristics of each component and provides a material well-suited for craniofacial reconstruction (Figure 1). 85:15 poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) is a linear, substantially amorphous, random copolymer, and retains approximately 85% of its initial bending strength after 8 weeks (Figure 2). RAPIDSORB Implants resorb in approximately 12 months.1 A significant...

Intraoperative photos of metopic synostosis reconstruction using RAPIDSORB Rapid Resorbable Fixation System. The RAPIDSORB Rapid Resorbable Fixation System is intended for use in fracture repair and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult populations. In addition, resorbable meshes, sheets, and screws may be used in non-load-bearing applications for maintaining the relative position of, and/or containing, bony fragments, bone grafts, (autograft or allograft), or bone graft substitutes in reconstruction of the craniofacial or mandibular areas....
