- Development of a system for planning and osteosynthesis in orthognathic surgery
APrOS
Anatomically Preformed Orbital Surgical Instruments
The aim of this project is to improve surgical procedures on the orbit by using specially designed instruments that are adapted to the complex anatomy of the orbit. Orbital wall fractures, which are often caused by accidents such as blows or falls, lead to aesthetic and functional problems, such as double vision or restricted eye movement. Every year, thousands of patients in Germany require surgical treatment; however, outdated instruments are frequently used, which are not ideally suited to this type of surgery.

ZEREPRO – Orthosurg
Development of a system for planning and osteosynthesis in orthognathic surgery based on anatomically preformed osteosynthesis plates and planning software
As part of the project, a system is being developed for comprehensive planning, simulation and surgical treatment in orthognathic surgery. A key component of this are three-dimensionally pre-formed osteosynthesis plates for every area of application in orthognathic surgery of the human upper and lower jaw and the chin region, which enable the simple and reliable intraoperative implementation of the surgical plan.
