DOUBLE JAW — TRANSPARENT BIMAXILLARY OSTEOTOMY BY VIEW PLASTIC SURGERY SOUTH KOREA
Transparent Bimaxillary Osteotomy: Transparent bimaxillary osteotomy confident to the bones! The absorbable fixation pin comprised of bone components dissolves while merging with the bones and completely eliminate the traces of bimaxillary(two-jaw) osteotomy.
What is transparent bimaxillary osteotomy?
The method of using fixation pins absorbed as it merges with the bones when fixating the bones fractured from the bimaxillary(two-jaw) osteotomy process.
This is a method which uses the fixation pins absorbed when bones are knit back together instead of the titanium fixation pins when the fractured bones are fixed during the bimaxillary(two-jaw) surgical procedure, leaving no traces of the pins in X-ray images or CT scans.
Absorbable fixation pins vs. Non-absorbable fixation pins
The fractured bones must be firmly and tightly fixated after the jaw bones are moved to the proper position through bimaxillary osteotomy.
The existing titanium pins and screws do not cause any harm to the body but can be identified through X-ray images.
However, once the bones are fixed using the absorbable fixation pins and screws, the pins and screws disappear as they merge with and are absorbed into the bones.
For this reason, it does not require a secondary surgery to remove pins and screws after the bimaxillary osteotomy and this reduces the financial and psychological burden.
Furthermore, the surgery leaves no traces of the pins even in X-ray images, CT scans and airport security checks.
provides the patients with the option of choosing either the View Plastic Surgery Clinic absorbable pins and screws (osteotrans) or existing pins and screws (titanium).
However, the final decision on whether to use the absorbable pins is made through consultation.
Special Features of VIEW’s transparent bimaxillary osteotomy
1. No need to remove pins: There is no need to have another surgery for pin removal after the bimaxillary osteotomy because the pins disappear as time passes by.
2. Enhanced Safety: The pins are safe as they begin to be absorbed after the bones are completely knit back together after the bimaxillary surgery.
3. Absorbable Pins: The pins are absorbed into the bone and leave no traces of the surgery in X-ray images or CT scan.
Safe and Firm!
The absorbed pins and screws are evently mixed with OSTEOTRANS synthetic polymer(PLLA) and bone components(u-HA) which disappears.
The product has bone conduction (osteoconductive) function which helps generate bones around the weakened bones after surgery. Because the product is absorbed into the bones as they knit back together, it firmly fixes the bones without any movement even when the product is being absorbed.
