Smart Fixation is used to provide internal fixation of cranial and facial bones. The midface and craniofacial option is called the ALFA system. It covers a complete range of plates and screws intended for craniofacial and midface trauma.
USES
- Cranial trauma and reconstruction
- Maxillary osteotomies

- Fast insertion screw option for the cranial bones.
- Uniquely designed and controlled screw/blade connections with a perfect self-retaining mechanism.
- Our large anatomically formed bone plate range offering the surgeon to select the optimal bone plate for each possible indication.
- The screw/plate profile is made as low as possible to provide an optimal patient comfort. The perfect balance between a low profile height and superior strength, ensuring an optimal clinical outcome.
- Gradual color-coded devices for easy and comprehensive implant selection.
DETAILS
- Selftapping and selfdrilling type screws diameter 1.3, 1.6 and 1.9mm
- Boneplates profiles of 0.5 and 0.6 mm
- Meshes 0.3 / 0.4 / 0.6
2. BETA system – Orthognathic surgery
The BETA system is specifically designed for orthognathic surgery. With its low interface and semi rigid fixation this is the standard for many maxillofacial surgeons. The system is simple, efficient, multipurpose, extremely user friendly and reliable.
USES
- Orthognathic surgery: LeFort I osteotomies, sagittal split osteotomies and genioplasties
- Midface trauma and reconstruction
- Selective mandibula fracture
FEATURES
- The screws, bone plates and instruments of the ALFA and BETA system are interchangeable.
- Innovative self-tapping and self-drilling screw thread, created for an excellent grip on the bone.
- Uniquely designed and controlled screw/blade connections with a perfect self-retaining mechanism.
- Reversible and preformed plate designs reducing stock and handling time without compromising choice and variety.
- Our large anatomically formed bone plate range offering the surgeon to select the optimal bone plate for each possible indication.
- The screw/plate profile is made as low as possible to provide an optimal patient comfort. The perfect balance between a low profile height and superior strength, ensuring an optimal clinical outcome.
- Gradual color-coded devices for easy and comprehensive implant selection.
DETAILS
- Selftapping and selfdrilling type screws diameter 1.9 and 2.2 mm
- Boneplates profiles of 0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 and 1.0mm
- Etched lines, in mm, on boneplates for easy bending (if applicable)
3. GAMMA system – Trauma and reconstruction
The GAMMA system is used for trauma and reconstructive surgery of the mandible. Simple, as well as complex fractures can easily be managed with this system.
All boneplates of the GAMMA series are reversible and compatible with locking and non-locking screws. This is a very unique feature: reversible & locking all-in-one. Our large boneplate rang allows the surgeon to choose the optimal boneplate design for each possible indication in the field of trauma en reconstructive surgery of the mandible.
USES
- Mandibular trauma and fractures
- Condyle fracture
- Reconstruction mandible
FEATURES
- Innovative screw thread, created for an excellent grip on the bone.
- Uniquely designed and controlled screw/blade connections with a perfect self-retaining mechanism.
- Reversible and locking plate, reducing stock and handling time without compromising choice and variety.
- The screw/plate profile is made as low as possible to provide an optimal patient comfort. The perfect balance between a low profile height and superior strength, ensuring an optimal clinical outcome.
- Gradual color-coded devices for easy and comprehensive implant selection.
- Anatomical formed plate design
DETAILS
- Selftapping locking and non-locking type screws diameter 2.1 / 2.4 and 2.7 mm
- Boneplates profiles of 1.0 / 1.3 / 1.5 and 2.0 mm
Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is a technique frequently used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for mandibular and midface fracture stabilization. IMF screws have shown to be a useful modality to establish maxillomandibular fixation. It is a safe, and time-sparing technique. It is an ideal device for temporary intermaxillary fixation.
Screws are intended to be placed above or between the tooth roots paying special attention to the nerves. The number and position of the IMF screws depend on the fracture type. After placement, a wire is wapped around the screws to stabilize the patients occlusion.
USES
- The intermaxillary fixation screws are used for binding the maxillary and mandibular teeth together
- Immobilise the jaw in patients with a mandibular fracture, or during orthognathic surgery
FEATURES
- Self-drilling threads for easy handling and insertion
- Placement comfort for the surgeon, compared to dental arches/wire.
- Two different screw head offering flexibility to the surgeon
DETAILS
- Self drilling screws of 2.0mm
- Titanium alloy
- Temporary screws (removal)
5. Smile Distraction, Giving people a nice smile
Titamed’s CMF distraction solution is called Smile Distraction. Our transpalatal distractors (tpd) are designed to widen the upper jaw. They allows you to deliver outstanding improvements to the facial features of your patients.
We have 3 different types of palatal distractors, each designed for a specific indication, allowing you to cover all surgical needs.
- Smile 3 Distractor: For pathological small upper jaws and clefts.
- UNI-Smile Distractor : Most commonly used type.
- Smile Extra Distractor: If a large expansion is required.
DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS
Distraction osteogenesis is based on the body’s own ability to cause a fracture to heal and is described as the process of new bone formation. After the bone is cut during surgery, the transpalatal distractor pulls the 2 pieces of bone apart slowly. The slow stretching apart of bone is not painful. New bone grows (osteogenesis) to fill the gap.
TECHNIQUE
Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) or Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion (SARME) is a technique in the field of orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery which is used to expand the maxillary arch. It is performed to address the transverse dimension or the 3th dimension changes in a patient in orthognathic surgery.
The Smile distractor is bone-born palatal distractor used widen the maxillary arch.
WHEN TO USE
The indications for SARPE / SARME in skeletal maturity or adult patients include:
- Cross bites
- Crowding accompanied by contraindications for teeth extraction
- Large side corridors
- Maxillary narrowing in clefts
- Obstructive sleep apnea (in patients with a narrow palate)
The transpalatal distractor is placed on the maxilla after Lefort I osteotomy performance without the down-fracture.
