SuperCable Sternotomy Closure System Brochure

The Iso-Elastic property of the polymer SuperCable provides dynamic compression across the sternal halves to better accommodate the physiologic loads acting on the healing sternum. This Iso-elastic property also acts as a shock absorber on the sternum, helping to neutralize loads caused by coughing, sneezing and patient movement, thus reducing the chance of cut-through and loss of fixation. Additionally, the broader footprint of the double-strand cable can help to minimize cut-through into soft bone. The improved fixation offered by SuperCable provides the opportunity for more rapid and reliable bone healing, more rapid post-op recovery and reduced patient complications and readmissions.
