A bone graft condensing syringe system for maxillofacial reconstructive surgery.
A new system of metallic syringes and pluggers specifically designed for delivery and condensation of particulate bone graft is reported, and the clinical application in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery is described. This bone graft condensing system has advantages over the conventional plastic injection syringes in enabling much better bone graft condensation as well as easier bone delivery and insertion of the syringe to the depth of the reconstruction crib.
