The Rigid External Distraction (RED) System - KLS-Martin, L P
The KLS-Martin Rigid External Distraction (RED) System provides the means to obtain predictable and consistent results in maxillary and midface distraction. This system was designed in conjunction with John W. Polley, MD and Alvaro A. Figueroa, DDS to provide the surgeon the ability to deliver controlled rigid distraction forces without the need for internal hardware.
Multi-Guide™ Mandibular Distraction Device - Stryker Leibinger
This mandibular distraction device was developed in conjunction with the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at NYU Medical Center and is designed to provide the surgeon greater control in guiding
deficient or misshapen mandibles toward natural facial development. It has the great advantage of being
able to gradually, independently, and simultaneously distract and manipulate facial bones in more than one plane.
ACE/Normed Bi-Directional & Multi-Directional Distractors - KLS-Martin, LP
The Bi-Directional distractor allows, in addition to a divided elongation in two directions, a variable adjustment in the angle between the two arms of the appliance. Following a single or double osteotomy, one can distract both vertically and horizontally. The Multi-Directional Distractor provides the additional benefit of allowing transverse movements. Both arms can be changed in all planes. Independent of one another in their relationship to the middle section of the appliance, because their fixation to the middle section is effected by a ratchet and ball-joint combination.
- Dynaform™
Intraoral Distraction System - Stryker Leibinger
This device was developed in conjunction with Cesar Guerrero, DDS and William Bell, DDS and is designed for mandibular symphysis widening and mandibular lengthening.
- MID (Modular Internal Distraction) System - Stryker Leibinger
This system was developed in conjunction with Steven R. Cohen, MD, Atlanta, GA and is intended for use in the treatment of cranial, midfacial, or mandibular conditions (syndromic craniosynostosis, midfacial retrusion, hemifacial microsomia, and mandibular retrognathia), for which reconstructive osteotomy and segment advancement are indicated. The device is intended to provide temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of facial bones.
- The
Intraoral Distractor - Stryker Leibinger
This system was developed under the direction of Dr. Patrick Diner working with Prof. Marie-Paule Vazquez at the Armand-Trousseau Children's Hospital, located in Paris, France.
ROD™ Distraction Appliances - Oral Osteodistraction, LP
The ROD™ appliances are the intraoral custom-made preprogrammed devices capable of delivering precise 3-dimensional distraction for adult and adolescent patients. All ROD™ appliances are assembled with an appropriate laboratory instrument which precisely aligns anterior activation expansion screws parallel to each other and to the vector of distraction.
Intraoral Titanium Mandibular Distraction Devices - Medicon Instrumente eG
The Intraoral Titanium Mandibular Distraction Devices were designed in conjunction with Prof. Dr. Dr. Konrad Wangerin from Marienhospital Stuttgart, Germany. The intraorally applicable distraction devices permit in an unobtrusive manner the lengthening of a growth retarded mandible in the horizontal and ascending mandibular ramus, either uni-laterally or bi-laterally.
- LEAD™
(Leibinger Endosseous Alveolar Disctraction) System - Stryker
Leibinger
The LEAD™ System is an intraoral, endosseous distraction system for correcting ridge deficiencies as a result of trauma, congenital defects, or periodontal disease. This system will typically be used prior to the placement of endosseous dental implants. Once the LEAD™ System components are in place, activation of the Threaded Distraction Rod results in vertical movement of the osteotomy segment - the resultant distraction zone is filled with natural bone, consistent with the distraction osteogenesis concept. This results in mature cortical bone at the crest for enhanced implant stability.
