This device can be used to create new bone to fill a gap in the mandible after surgical excision. It uses a bone reconstruction plate as a distraction device. The reconstruction plate fixes the bone stumps on both sides of the bone gap. In the middle segment of the plate overlying the bone gap, the transport bone disc is carried on a transport unit that moves along a rail on the outer surface of the reconstruction plate.
