Boston, MA | March 24–28, 2026 — The American Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Association (ACPA) proudly announces KLS Martin as a returning Platinum Supporter for the 2026 ACPA Annual Meeting. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, KLS Martin continues to advance cleft and craniofacial care through innovative solutions designed to support precision, efficiency, and predictable outcomes.
At this year’s meeting, KLS Martin will highlight three key solutions that exemplify its commitment to personalized care across the craniofacial treatment continuum: IPS® Distraction, CranioXpand® Cranial Spring System, and IPS® Preprosthetic.
A major focus at the meeting is IPS® Distraction, which offers a patient-specific solution for mandibular, maxillary, and midface distraction cases. Now manufactured in Jacksonville, Florida, the IPS® Mandibular Hyperdrive features a 7-day production timeline, enabling surgeons to move efficiently from planning to surgery with all the benefits of an IPS® solution. This accelerated turnaround supports timely intervention while maintaining the accuracy and reliability required for complex distraction osteogenesisprocedures.
CranioXpand® is KLS Martin’s cranial spring system designed to make spring assisted cranial vault expansion easier, more predictable, and truly streamlined. CranioXpand® delivers a complete, standardized system consisting of both implants and instrumentation so surgeons can work with efficiency. Our atraumatic, stainless-steel springs come in three sizes of varying strength, allowing surgeons to tailor treatment to each patient’s clinical needs.
IPS® Preprosthetic is the only FDA cleared, remotely fixated subperiosteal implant system in the United States. IPS® Preprosthetic supports complex cleft reconstruction through patient-specific planning and surgical solutions, which restore oral form and function at the time of surgery.
Will Ticoras, President of KLS Martin LP, shared, “Supporting the ACPA community reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing patient-specific craniofacial care. Whether through rapid-turnaround distraction solutions manufactured in Jacksonville, IPS® Preprosthetic planning, or CranioXpand cranial springs, our focus remains on empowering surgeons with technologies that help improve outcomes for children and families.”
From digital planning solutions to precision-engineered implants and instruments, KLS Martin remains a trusted partner for surgeons who demand innovation, reliability, and personalized care. Backed by a nationwide team of expert consultants, KLS Martin provides hands-on support throughout every stage of the surgical journey.
“ACPA continues to evolve to meet the needs of our professional community in a changing healthcare landscape,” said Adam Levy, CAE, ACPA Executive Director. “That progress is made possible through the continued support of valued partners like KLS Martin. Their commitment as a Platinum Supporter helps make ACPA’s Annual Meeting in Boston possible, including enhanced educational programming and meaningful opportunities for connection.”
The 2026 ACPA Annual Meeting, taking place March 24–28, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts, brings together interdisciplinary leaders in cleft and craniofacial care for education, research, and collaboration. Through scientific sessions, poster presentations, and hands-on learning opportunities, attendees will explore innovations shaping the future of cleft and craniofacial treatment.
