SternaLock® Blu
Primary Closure System
Specifically designed by cardiothoracic surgeons for primary sternal closure - stabilisation and fixation of the anterior chest - following median sternotomies for open-heart procedures.
SternaLock® Blu features:
The plates are thinner and their anatomical design helps to address the challenges associated with fixating a 90º sternal incision or rib osteotomy.
The plates provide greater strength compared to wire closure.
The plates increase stability at the osteotomy site, while still allowing for minimally invasive access.
The plates ensures reduced sternal separation compared to wire closure.
