Arch Bar
+ Description
The Arch Bar (30 cm) is a critical maxillofacial surgical device used for intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in the treatment of mandibular and maxillary fractures. This 30 cm bar is typically made of biocompatible Stainless Steel, designed for easy adaptation and contouring along the dental arch. It provides rigid immobilization of the jaws by anchoring to the teeth using wires, thereby maintaining proper occlusion and alignment during the bone healing process.
+ Indications
- Mandibular and Maxillary Fractures – Used to immobilize the jaws during healing of facial fractures.
- Intermaxillary Fixation (IMF) – Provides stable occlusion by wiring upper and lower jaws together during recovery.
- Pre- and Post-Orthognathic Surgery – Maintains jaw position before or after corrective jaw surgeries.
- Facial Trauma Management – Ensures stabilization of the dental arch in trauma cases involving displaced fractures.
- Adjunct in Open Reduction – May be used alongside plating techniques to temporarily maintain occlusion.
- Pediatric and Adult Use – Suitable for patients of all ages due to its customizable length.
+ Key Features
- Long Length (30 cm) – Provides enough flexibility to be trimmed and adapted for various jaw sizes and fracture types.
- High-Quality Stainless Steel – Corrosion-resistant, durable, and fully biocompatible for safe long-term intraoral use.
- Easily Contourable – Can be bent and shaped intraoperatively to match the patient’s dental arch precisely.
- Effective IMF Solution – Enables intermaxillary fixation using wire ligatures, ensuring proper occlusal alignment and bone healing.
- Secure Wire Fixation Slots – Designed with evenly spaced hooks or slots to ensure consistent and secure ligature placement.
- Cost-Effective and Reusable – Can be sterilized for reuse in appropriate clinical setups, making it a budget-conscious choice.
