CRANIOS REINFORCED Rotary Mix and CRANIOS REINFORCED Fast Set Putty are indicated for repairing or filling cranial defect and craniotomy cuts with a surface area no larger than 25 cm². CRANIOS REINFORCED Rotary Mix and CRANIOS REINFORCED Fast Set Putty are also indicated for the restoration or augmentation of bony contours of the cranial skeleton (including fronto-orbital areas) such as burr hole voids and other cranial defects. 

• Reinforcing Fibers: Impart increased toughness* to resist cracking during the setting process
• Sodium Hyaluronate Solution: Increased viscosity enhances the cohesion and handling of the material
• High Compressive Strength: Reaches a maximum compressive strength of 35 MPa (Inject) and 25 MPa (Fast Set Putty) within 24 hours. This compressive strength is greater than cancellous bone¹
• Hardens in a Warm, Wet Environment: Reducing the need to limit moisture at the operative site
• Closely Resembles the Mineral Phase of Bone: Gradually resorbed and replaced with bone during the natural bone healing process
• Isothermic Hardening: Prevents thermal injury to surrounding soft tissue
• pH Neutral: Limits the risk of foreign body reaction caused by localized pH imbalance

*Toughness is defined as a material’s ability to resist fracture when stressed. Data on file with Synthes, mechanical test FRN TEST 132.
