The ACE Surgical Alveolar Distraction Fixture is designed for use in totally edentulous mandibles or maxillae to increase bone height and mass by means of distraction osteogenesis. As clinically defined the gradual step lengthening of a callus for distraction osteogenesis can be achieved with the transitory use of the ACE Surgical Alveolar Distractor. This ACE Surgical transitory monofocal distraction device is indicated for use in maxillofacial alveolar and small craniofacial skeletal bones.
