Intended Use

Seare Biomedical Silicone Blocks are intended for use in the cosmetic correction of soft tissue deformities, and is contoured at the surgeon's discretion to create a custom implant to aid in the reconstruction process. The contour carving blocks lend themselves to carving chin implants and malar implants.

Device Story

Seare Biomedical Silicone Blocks consist of LSR soft implant-grade silicone elastomer blocks; provided sterile; clear to slightly opaque; optional iron oxide pigments for opacity/radiopacity. Surgeon carves blocks intraoperatively to create custom implants for bone onlay or soft tissue correction (e.g., chin, malar, skeletal depressions from trauma/cancer). Device used in clinical setting by surgeons. Benefits include patient-specific anatomical fit through manual customization.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data.

Technological Characteristics

LSR soft implant-grade silicone elastomer; square, rectangular, or curved form factors; optional iron oxide pigments for radiopacity; provided sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for cosmetic correction of soft tissue deformities in patients requiring custom implants for reconstruction, including chin and malar augmentation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.

Image /page/0/Picture/0 description: The image is a circular graphic with a complex, abstract design. The design features a combination of dark and light areas that create a swirling, organic pattern. The dark areas appear to be interconnected, forming a network of shapes against the lighter background. The overall effect is visually dynamic and somewhat resembles a stylized representation of a cell or a planetary surface.

Device Description: Searc Biomedical Silicone Blocks are made from specially formulated silicone elastomers designed for implantation, LSR soft implant grade silicone elastomer. The intended use of the Seare Biomedical silicone block is for caring a finished device by the surgeon for his or her own custom use. The square or rectangular blocks are designed for carving flater devices for use in bone onlay for correction of surface defects resulting from skeletal anomalies such as depressions secondary to trauma or cancer resection. The curved blocks are generally used for carved devices such as malar and chin implants. The Seare Biomedical Silicone Blocks will be provided sterile. The appearance is described as clear to slightly opaque. Pigments will optionally be added such as Iron Oxide, to create opacity to light and Radiographic exam.

Indications For Use: Seare Biomedical Silicone Blocks are inthe cosmetic correction of soft tissue deformities, and is contoured at the surgeon's discretion to create a custom implant to aid in the reconstruction process. The contour carving blocks lend themselves to carving chin implants and malar implants.
