Cranial resinous compound

Definition

A substance used to reconstitute cranial bone after neurosurgery (i.e., cranioplasty). It typically consists of a self-curing resin [e.g., polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)] or a two part resinous material made of several compositions. It may be conformed as an inert implant in an appropriate shape (e.g., a plate) needed to repair the defect of the skull, either using an intraoperatively cured solid composition, or a preoperatively fabricated, porous, custom-made, implant. After application, this device cannot be reused.
