Abstract

Described herein are various embodiments of an apparatus, system, and method for maxillo-mandibular fixation. For example, according to one representative embodiment, an apparatus (100) for maxillo-mandibular fixation includes a plurality of connectors (108), a fixation belt (102), and a release (204). The connectors include one or more anchors configured to attach to bone (104, 106) and a fixation belt attachment (1008). The fixation belt includes a plurality of fasteners (202) attachable to a fixation belt attachment and a flexible mesh (206) disposed between the plurality of fasteners. The release is disposed on the fixation belt and has an engaged position restricting movement between the plurality of fasteners and a disengaged position allowing movement between the plurality of fasteners.
