Profile: Biomet Microfixation manufactures a complete range of craniomaxillofacial products. We offer products for neurosurgical, plastic, oral & maxillofacial, craniofacial, pediatric, ENT and cardiothoracic applications. The RapidFlap™ LS system is a two-sided resorbable craniotomy fixation device. Its clamps are made of LactoSorb® co-polymer. This system provides an easy-to-use streamlined implant, which will be completely resorbed out of the body in one year. The Biomet Microfixation Midface 1.0 mm titanium system provides a rigid-fixation alternative for areas with high palpability and prominent bone formation. The areas include the frontal bone and the areas surrounding the orbit. The 1.0 mm plates feature a 0.6 mm profile allowing for minimal palpability while allowing for optimal stability in these areas. The system offers versatile plating options including generic meshes that can be used in neuro and craniofacial procedures.
The company was founded in 1965.
