Sternal closure cable systems
Ortholox
OrtoLox cable and crimp systems for secure sternal and orthopaedic closure with distributed load.
Cable closure distributes load over a wider surface than wire, which reduces the risk of bone cut-through in osteoporotic or reoperative sternums. The crimp mechanism allows tension to be set and locked reproducibly.
Sternal dehiscence and deep sternal wound infection are among the most costly complications after cardiac surgery, so closure technique and hardware selection have direct consequences for length of stay.
