Ortho Baltic patient-specific cranial implants that may come with patient-specific surgical guides are designed on the patient’s cranial anatomical model that is recreated from CT scan images. Therefore, patient-specific implants perfectly fit patient’s anatomy, fully fill a defect, ensure stable fixation and restore aesthetic cranial symmetry; while patient-specific surgical guides help to perform a surgical procedure precisely according to the pre-surgical plan. In comparison with other cranial defect filling solutions, patient-specific cranial implants have better functionality; they decrease the risk of complications, prevents side effects and shortens the duration of surgery as well as the rehabilitation period. 

Patient-specific cranial implants are plate-type medical devices that differ by their size and configurations (depending on the size and location of the cranial defect) and that are used in cranioplasty to correct cranial defects. The main goals of cranioplasty are to prevent injuries and infection of the unprotected brain, to correct cranial deformations and restore the aesthetic of the skull.
