What is it indicated for?
MEDPOR® Surgical Granule implants are intended for the augmentation or restoration of contour in the cranial facial area. They are indicated for use where a well formed pocket can be formed for containment, and where, because of the irregularity of the deformity, it is difficult to fill with other shaped implants. This material is intended exclusively for non-load bearing applications.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
