Marc’s story, a life changed - 5 Having suffered for six years, knowing it could have been less then one. August 2004. Marc, a healthy and fit 21 year old is riding his bicycle when dumb luck struck his path. Out of nowhere a woman popped up and in his attempt to avoid her he lost control over his bicycle, and fell to the ground with his head first. The impact caused traumatic brain injury, which can lead to a host of physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural effects. Although people can recover completely, permanent disability or even death can occur as a result. After being held in a...

Bone graft Bone cement Titanium mesh People of all ages can face health problems that require them to undergo osteotomies. The bone defects that remain after craniotomies create emotional, functional, physical and aesthetic disturbances that change patients’ lives. The reconstruction of large/complex osseous defects still presents great challenges. And little is known on the best way to approach these challenges. For example if we take the reconstruction of large skull defects which is a truly complicated craft, with surgeons manually shaping, modelling and placing bone cement, bone grafts...

10 - Place, Drill, Fixate InterFix Xilloc’s unique InterFix technology gives you preoperatively planned screw positions, screw direction and depth. InterFix eliminates the need for plating and requires only a few screws. During surgery, you place the custom implant into the defect, you drill holes tangentially into the cortical bone guided by the pre-made screw holes and to lock the implant, you fix screws into the holes. A large cranial defect typically only requires 5 to 9 screws. q Tangential fixation is a real revolution: it’s easy, it’s fast and it reduces the time I spend in surgery a...

Xilloc developed a unique fixation method. We allow you to fix your custom implant with a tangential fixation. We include fixation holes in the implant guiding your drill and screws. No need for many screws and plates to fix an implant. Typically a large custom cranial plate requires only 7-9 screws for a solid fixation. An orbital implant only 2-3. Surgery is quick and easy Place. Drill. Fixate. Easy and quick. The custom implant falls into place, you drill through the fixation holes and then screw the implant into place. Since you only need a few screws, the implant is fixated before you know it....
