This revolutionary polymer-based cerclage system is designed to solve many of the inherent problems of traditional monofilament wire and metal cabling systems.
Features and Benefits of the system include:
• Fatigue strength superior to metal cables and wire
-Leads to Reduced Complications from breakage.
• Polymer cable eliminates cable-generated metal debris
-Debris from braided metal cables has been shown to greatly increase wear in adjacent total joints.
-Metal cable and wire fragments have been shown to migrate throughout the body.
-Individual filaments in braided metal cables may be subject to fretting wear and metal debris generation.
• No sharp cable ends
-Reduces patient tissue irritation risk.
-Eliminates glove tears and “sharps injury” from sharp metal cable ends.
• “Iso-Elasticity”
-Provides long-term dynamic compressive loading across bone fragments.
-Offers the possibility for better healing and increased construct strength.
• Unique “crimp-less” locking mechanism
-Cables can be easily re-tightened.
-Saves OR time.
-Reduces the number of cables required.
