Indications

The Herford transport distractor is an intraoral system which allows segment transport,
enabling reconstruction of continuity defects in the mandible. Since the distractor has no fixed
connection to the reconstruction plate it is particularly suitable for bone transports in a curved
motion, but maximally up to the central line (symphysis).
The distraction system is indicated for the primary reconstruction of the following defects:
Mandibular continuity defects caused by trauma or resection
•
Mandibular defects caused by tumours
