In Taiwan, most cranioplasty plates are imported from developed countries. Not only these plates are expensive, but also neurosurgeons often encounter many difficulties in using these imported plates, e.g., (1) insufficient soft tissue coverage during surgery, (2) fatigue pull-out of fixation screw induced by unfitted edges, (3) lack of optimized fixation patterns for different defect types, (4) lack of convenient surgical instruments. The objective of this project is to develop a design system to fabricate customized titanium cranioplasty mesh plates. The system will include an optimized design guideline and a computation module to design the optimized plate shape and fixation pattern for different cranial defect types. The optimized guideline and computation algorithm will be verified by evaluating the mechanical strength and fatigue strength of the plate. Lastly, the accompanying surgery instruments will be developed to facilitate the surgery.Pao-Yuen Tech, based in Taiwan, is a growing medical device company, owning many kernel technologies including medical image progressing, reverse engineering, and high-precision free-form manufacturing. This project will synergize Pao-Yuen,s technologies with the virtual design platform of orthopedic implants and precision implant testing platform developed by our lab. The focus of the two-year project is the qualification of clinical adjustment of Titanium cranioplasty mesh plate, optimization of mechanical strength of the plate, establishment of design computation module and fabrication system for customized pre-shaped mesh plate, the accompanying surgical instruments, and the correspondent regulatory safety testing. It is hoped the results of this project is able to promote our domestic venders to produce high-quality and high-valued medical implants, especially cranioplasty related implants and fixation devices, and increase the venders strength for international market.Optimal Design and Testing of Custom-Made Cranialplasty Implants (I)
