Biodegradable Zinc Alloy Osteosynthesis System

Osteosynthesis System

The Biodegradable Zinc Alloy Osteosynthesis System represents a paradigm shift in oral and maxillofacial surgery. While traditional titanium plates often require secondary surgery or lead to long-term issues like palpable hardware and temperature sensitivity, this zinc-alloy system provides the rigid fixation required for delicate facial bones before being naturally absorbed by the body.

Key Clinical Features

  • Superior Mechanical Properties: Zinc alloys offer significantly higher mechanical strength compared to traditional biodegradable polymers, ensuring stable fixation in the high-stress environment of the mandible and midface.
  • Optimized Degradation Rate: The system is engineered to maintain its structural integrity during the essential early weeks of bone union, gradually resorbing only after the biological fusion is secure.
  • Excellent Biocompatibility: As a natural trace element in the human body, zinc release can actually stimulate bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and provides a localized antibacterial effect during the healing process.
  • Low-Profile Miniature Design: The ultra-thin plates and screws minimize soft tissue interference, which is critical in the thin-skinned areas of the forehead, orbits, and jawline.
  • Zero Post-Operative Interference: Because the hardware is absorbed, patients avoid long-term complications such as implant migration, growth restriction in pediatric patients, or interference with future radiological imaging.
