3D-Skull
The patient-specific mold creates a PMMA cranial implant in the operating room, offering a perfect fit, quick reconstruction, and long-lasting results.
Ensuring better medical performance
What is 3D-Skull?
3D-Skull is a custom mold that creates a PMMA cranial implant during surgery, based on the patient's CT scan, and is ready for placement within minutes.
Why use 3D-SKULL?
Perfect fit
The implant's accuracy is extremely high thanks to the latest design and manufacturing technologies. Additionally, the PMMA material is well-known and can be adapted if the surgical conditions differ from the CT scan (fibrosis, open sinus, movement artifacts, etc.). 3D-Skull ensures a perfect fit in any scenario.
Medical performance
The implant material (PMMA, bone cement) is durable and provides excellent mechanical protection for the brain. Additionally, the integrated gentamicin (antibiotic) enhances the long-term outcomes of this technology.
Cost-effectiveness
The engineering process (image processing, design, validation, etc.) is as complex as that of other custom-made implants. However, our optimized manufacturing process and workflow allow us to reduce costs, delivering a high-quality implant at an affordable price.
Resection and Reconstruction in One surgery
When a resection is needed, planning is performed to delineate the resection area (on a CT scan or MRI). All information is merged on the CT scan.
The resection is planned in 3D and both a surgical guide and a custom-made implant are designed. Intraoperatively, the guide and the implant are used to obtain, in just one surgical intervention, an accurate resection and reconstruction with a patient-specific cranial implant.
“One of the strengths of 3D-Side is their adaptability and flexibility. Regarding either the location or the clinical situation, 3D-Side is always able to adapt.”

A lateral resection is required prior to the frontal reconstruction to obtain an
appropriate facial harmony. 3D-Side plans the resection and reconstruction and provides the
adequate tools.
