MedCAD Introduces New 3D-Printed AccuPlate Product

MedCAD’s AccuPlate reconstruction plates for the mandible and midface are now 3D printed, which allow for a shorter delivery window, and more geometries and features to address a greater variety of surgical needs and complexities.

“MedCAD’s expansion of 3D titanium printing capabilities has enabled us to reduce delivery times dramatically for our high-demand implants while offering more design features requested by our customers,” MedCAD President/CEO Nancy Hairston said. “These improved turnaround times for each patient-specific plate can quickly provide surgeons with bespoke, creative reconstruction options within timeframes that were previously unavailable.”

The plates are available in thicknesses of 2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.6 mm, and 2.8 mm. Highly requested features such as inferior border hooks, graft trays, and precise allowances for off-the-shelf mesh between the plate and mandible are all newly available options. Additionally, locking and non-locking threaded plate features or 3D printed mesh features combined with the plate are now available. The AccuPlate 3DTi implants can be delivered in as few as five days after surgeon approval.

“The goal of MedCAD’s portfolio of product solutions is to provide surgeons with customizable options that are as anatomically unique as the patients they help treat,” Hairston stated. “With MedCAD’s technology in the hands of a creative surgeon, the possibilities are virtually endless, and outcomes are unmatched.”
