New clinical data from 1,055 cranioplasty procedures with OssDsign Cranial PSI continue to show low complication rates
OssDsign AB (publ) (“OssDsign” or the “Company”) today announced that updated outcome data on the use of OssDsignCranial PSI in 1,055 cases of cranioplasty and cranial reconstructions have been made public via the company’s website. After a median follow-up time of 21 months, rate of infections leading to implant removal was 2.1%, which is consistent with the low levels previously presented. All data were collected as part of post-market surveillance of product performance in Europe, US and selected Asian markets in compliance with MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev.4 and MDR 2017/745.
Reconstruction of cranial defects can be a complex surgical procedure associated with an underestimated morbidity. This post-market surveillance report describes the outcome of 1,055 cranioplasties and cranial reconstructions using OssDsign Cranial PSI, a patient-specific implant made from a calcium phosphate material reinforced with 3D-printed titanium. All data were collected as part of post-market surveillance of product performance in Europe, US and selected Asian markets in compliance with MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev.4 and MDR 2017/745.
One of the most common causes of explantation of implants are early post-operative infections. In the medical literature, explantation rates due to infection is often seen to reach above 10%. The OssDsign post-market-surveillance data however shows that at a median follow up time of 21 months (range, 0-70 months) only 22 (2.1%) of the implants were explanted due to early postoperative infections. A peer-reviewed clinical study of OssDsign Cranial reported similarly low rates of infections leading to implant removal (1.9%), as has previously reported post-market surveillance data.
Histological analysis of several implants explanted ≥ 9 months following surgery revealed bony integration between the implant and the native bone, as well as new bone formation within and around the remaining calcium phosphate material. The capacity of OssDsign’s material to remodel into living bone tissue has been documented in previous peer-reviewed scientific literature as well.
“We are extremely proud of this unique data that covers more than 1,000 implantations in a true multi-center setting” says Morten Henneveld, CEO of OssDsign. “We have now consistently been able to present low levels of complications over several years in a growing cohort, and we can safely say that this data now sets the industry standard when it comes to implants for cranial reconstruction”.
