Intended Use
Biopor Porous Polyethylene Implants in sheet configurations are intended for the augmentation or reconstruction of the craniofacial skeleton, including the cranial skeleton, orbit, nasal bones and the zygoma.
Device Story
Biopor Porous Polyethylene Implants are porous high-density polyethylene (PPE) surgical implants; available in sheet configurations; optional water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymer (AOC) coating. Implants are contoured or carved by surgeons to meet patient-specific anatomical requirements for craniofacial augmentation or reconstruction. Provided sterile; intended for single use. Device functions as a structural scaffold for tissue ingrowth. Clinical benefit includes restoration of skeletal form and function in the craniofacial region.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, LLNA sensitization, intracutaneous irritation, systemic toxicity, muscle implantation, and genotoxicity (Ames, chromosomal aberration, micronucleus). Performance testing included suture pull-out strength, flexibility, and porosity characterization (>40 µm). All tests met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Porous high-density polyethylene (PPE) with optional water-soluble alkylene oxide copolymer (AOC) coating. Form factor: Sheets. Sterilization: Electron beam irradiation. Porosity: >40 µm pore size. Mechanical properties: Suture pull-out strength and flexibility validated against predicate criteria.
Indications for Use
Indicated for augmentation or reconstruction of the craniofacial skeleton, including cranial skeleton, orbit, nasal bones, and zygoma in patients requiring surgical implantation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.

# Substantial Equivalence:
The Biopor® Porous Polyethylene Implants in this submission represent a line extension of additional sheet configurations intended for use in the craniofacial skeleton, and have a comparable intended use and indications for use as the predicate Biopor® Porous Polyethylene Implants indicated for use in the maxillofacial skeleton (K141880). This submission contains implants for use in the craniofacial skeleton. They are similar to one type of implants currently marketed by Ceremed.
The biocompatibility profile of the subject devices is leveraged from that of the predicate device. The mechanical properties of subject Biopor® Porous Polyethylene Implants meet the same acceptance criteria as the predicate device sheet configurations.
