Intended Use
Meticuly patient-specific tianium mesh implant is a device that is designed individually for each patient. This device is intended for use in selective trauma of the craniofacial skeleton (e.g., frontal bone, temporal bone, occipital bone, parietal bone, sphenoid bone, supraorbital process, vomer), cranial and craniofacial surgery, and reconstructive procedures.
Device Story
Patient-specific titanium mesh implant; designed individually for each patient using CT scan data. Manufactured via additive manufacturing (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) using Titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23). Used in cranial/craniofacial surgery to replace bony voids; fixated with commercially available titanium screws (1.4 mm - 1.8 mm). Surgeon approves design prior to fabrication. Device provides structural support for reconstructive procedures; benefits patient by restoring cranial anatomy. Used in clinical settings by surgeons.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance validated via Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for stress/deformation, comparative mechanical compression testing (stiffness/energy absorption), surface roughness testing (ISO 4288/25178), and dimensional fidelity validation against CT source data. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 series.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) per ASTM F3001-14. Manufacturing: Laser Powder Bed Fusion (additive). Form factor: Patient-specific mesh. Fixation: Titanium screws (1.4-1.8mm). Sterilization: Non-sterile (requires user sterilization).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring reconstruction of bony voids in the craniofacial skeleton (frontal, temporal, occipital, parietal, sphenoid, supraorbital, vomer) due to selective trauma or surgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A preformed nonalterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted in a patient to repair a skull defect and is constructed of a material, e.g., stainless steel or vitallium, that cannot be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Test | Test method summary | Results |
| Comparative device modeling<br>with Finite Element Analysis<br>(FEA) | Computational simulation was<br>performed with a compression load<br>in the normal direction on the<br>center of the mesh implant. The<br>load was applied on the surface of<br>the implant. This static loading<br>represents a simulation of a relaxed<br>person resting on a pillow. | The FEA consideration is based on<br>maximum equivalent stress, safety<br>factor and maximum deformation.<br>The result of the comparative test<br>shows that the subject device is<br>substantially equivalent to the<br>predicate device. |
| Comparative mechanical<br>testing with modified<br>compression test | - The subject device and the<br>predicate device were designed or<br>shaped into a similar design. Both<br>subject device and predicate<br>device were fixated onto the<br>plastic anatomic model that<br>represented the skull with screws.<br>- Compression test was performed<br>under the displacement control to<br>maximum displacement in the<br>normal direction on the center of<br>the mesh implant. | The mechanical consideration is<br>based on the stiffness and energy<br>absorption. The result of the<br>comparative test shows that the<br>subject device is substantially<br>equivalent to the predicate device. |
| Comparative roughness testing<br>via non-contact method | The surface roughness evaluation<br>was performed following the ISO<br>4288 and ISO 25178. | The result of the comparative test<br>shows that the subject device is<br>substantially equivalent to the<br>predicate device. |
| Device fidelity and validation<br>of device dimensional fit | Confirm the design qualification<br>and fidelity of the device with the<br>quality instruments. | The results show the fidelity of the<br>device and the traceability between<br>the CT scan data and the final<br>product. |
#### 9. Conclusion
Based upon testing and comparison to the predicate device, the Meticuly Patient-specific Titanium Mesh Implant has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics. The device performs as intended and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness; Thus, the subject device is concluded to be substantially equivalent to the legally commercialized predicate devices for the purposes of this 510(k) submission.
