The Rod-5 Distraction device is intended for use in patients with bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma or post tumor resection, Ankylosed teeth, or Atrophic boney areas inadequate for implant placements or restorative procedures which need to increase in bone mass and height by means of distraction osteogenesis.

The device consists of two bondable attachments and a horizontal rod that spans the distraction site. the rod is supported by these attachments which are bonded to the teeth and has holes for engagement of distraction wire. The spring washers and detents allow for activation of the device during distraction and provide a self-locking mechanism to prevent deactivation of the device. The device is activated by a screwdriver, which is inserted in to the screwdriver slot, pushed against the washer to disengage the detent, and then rotated. The device is predominately - tooth bone, with only a fixation wire attached to the bone; no screws are required. Removal of the device requires only cutting the fixation wire. The wire can then be pulled through the bone and soft tissue without the need for an incision.

The Rod-4 Distraction device is utilized for the purpose of maxillary and midface Osteodistraction in the reconstruction of patients with congenital and acquired craniofacial anomalies, narrow and underdeveloped maxilla.

The device consists of two to four preformed stainless steel crowns, which are cemented over maxillary first permanent molars and first permanent bicuspids. Stainless steel crowns have male and female precision attachments welded to them prior to cementation. Three Leone hyraax screws are also welded to the above-described attachments (two on the buccal and one on the palatal surfaces). The device is activated by a screwdriver, which is inserted in to the screwdriver slot of the hyraax screw and then rotated. The device is predominately - tooth bone, with KILS bone plates attached to the bone. Surgical mini screws are required to secure bone plates to the bone. Removal of the device requires removal of mini screws and removal of the crows.
