Custom Cranial Implants: Precision Skull Reconstruction by CranioplastyFlaps
Welcome to CranioplastyFlaps, where we specialise in custom cranial implants designed to reconstruct, protect, and restore the natural shape of your skull with unmatched precision and care. Whether you are recovering from trauma, surgery, or congenital skull deformities, our patient-specific cranial implant solutions are engineered to deliver optimal brain protection, improved aesthetics, and reduced surgical time. Every implant we create is uniquely tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
Why Choose Custom Cranial Implants?
After trauma, tumor removal, decompressive craniectomy, or due to congenital deformities, the skull may develop defects or irregularities. These defects can leave the brain exposed, alter head symmetry, and cause both physical and emotional distress. A custom cranial implant becomes essential to restore protection and appearance.
At CranioplastyFlaps, we employ advanced cranial modelling, 3D printing, and digital design software to create implants that conform perfectly to each patient’s skull. Unlike traditional grafts or metal meshes that require manual shaping, our implants provide a precise fit, superior cosmetic results, and faster intraoperative handling.
Our Approach: Precision, Personalisation and Patient-Centric Care
Advanced Digital Planning and Design
Our process begins with a 1 mm thin-cut CT scan (DICOM format) to accurately map the cranial defect. Using licensed medical modelling software, our team digitally reconstructs the missing portion of the skull, mirroring the unaffected side when possible. This ensures symmetry, anatomical precision, and seamless curvature for natural restoration.
3D Printing and Manufacturing
Once approved, the implant is fabricated using medical-grade biocompatible PMMA, ensuring safety and durability.
Now, our flaps come with pre-drilled fixation slots (for 1.5 mm / 2 mm screws) that enable quick, secure, and time-saving fixation on the operating table. Each implant is ready to use, sterilised, and designed for intraoperative modifiability—offering both structural strength and adaptability.
High-speed drilled smooth margins further reduce the risk of dural injury, ensuring a safer surgical experience for both patient and surgeon.
Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration and Safety
We bring together expertise from neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists, and rehabilitation specialists to ensure every patient receives a safe, precisely planned reconstructive solution. Our goal is to restore skull integrity, protect the brain, and promote long-term wellbeing.

Benefits for Neurosurgeons
-
Our advanced cranial implant design offers significant advantages for neurosurgeons during operative planning and execution:
-
-
Pre-drilled fixation slots (1.5 mm / 2 mm) enable rapid, secure screw placement, reducing time on the operating table.
-
Smooth, high-speed drilled margins minimise the risk of dural tears or soft tissue injury, enhancing surgical safety.
-
Thick and sturdy, yet modifiable PMMA bone flaps allow easy intraoperative trimming for a perfect fit.
-
Drop-in-fit design ensures minimal adjustment, streamlining the cranioplasty procedure.
-
ETO sterilization compatible implants reduce pre-surgery preparation time and improve surgical efficiency.
These features together result in shorter operative time, enhanced precision, and greater confidence in achieving optimal patient outcomes.
