Evolution of a Patient-matched Implant
Biomet's reputation for high quality custom implants begins with its engineers and dedicated 24-hour PMIĀ® manufacturing facility. The success of each implant starts with accurate reconstruction of the patient's CT scan data into a 3-D bone model. Working with the surgeon, an implant proposal is designed and can be sent out digitally, via 3-D PDF file or as a rapid prototype model. Upon surgeon approval of the proposal, the final implant is manufactured for surgery within three to four weeks. Accelerated response is available for oncology cases and special circumstances.
