Sternal Closure - Sternal Rigid Fixation
SternaLock - Model EZ - Next Generation Closure System
SternaLock EZ is a next-generation sternal closure system featuring innovative implants and instruments designed for speed of closure and ease of use.
SternaLock - Model XP - Rigid Fixation System
The SternaLock XP Sternal Closure System is indicated for stabilization and fixation of fractures of the anterior chest wall for sternal reconstructive procedures for patients with normal and poor bone.
SternaLock Blu - Primary Closure System
SternaLock Blu is specifically designed by cardiothoracic surgeons for primary sternal closure following median sternotomies for open-heart procedures. Zimmer Biomet has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Explore the legacy studies and whitepapers of our primary closure devices.
SternaLock - Model 360 - Sternal Closure System
An innovative, sternal closure system designed to approximate, compress and rigidly fixate the sternum following open-heart surgery in patients with poor bone quality.
Sternal Closure - Wire and Cable Closure
Single Wire Sternum Sutures
Designed to conform to the contours of the sternum and to enhance approximation. Conforms more closely to the contours of the sternum than other less flexible wires. Meets the ASTM F138 & 5832-1 standards for implant grade surgical fixation sternotomy suture wire.
DoubleWire - Sternal Closure System
The DoubleWire suture provides increased surface area and strength compared to that of a single wire suture of the same gauge and material. The DoubleWire Twister is designed to enable quick and easy installation.
Cardiovascular - Pacing Wires and Surgical Punches
Ventricular Cardiac Pacing Wires
Designed for stable fixation and atraumatic removal. Insulated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and incorporating a 64mm and 89mm Keith needle which has a ‘snap off’ feature enabling the needle to be easily broken off without the need of wire cutters.
Rib Fixation
RibFix Advantage - Intrathoracic Fixation System
The RibFix Advantage Intrathoracic Fixation System is the first and only intrathoracic fixation system for the treatment of rib fractures, which offers a repair that accommodates: Smaller Incisions as compared to a traditional open rib procedure. Minimal disruption to the periosteum helping to preserve the blood supply to the bone. Minimal disruption to the intercostal muscles for increased stability. This minimally invasive fixation system consists of pre-assembled bridge plates with locking posts and locking caps for thoracoscopically assisted fixation and stabilization of ribs. The pre-contoured bridge plate does not require intraoperative bending and the scalloped edges allow for additional points of stability to the bone.
RibFix Blu - Thoracic Fixation System
A simple, yet comprehensive, system designed for stabilization and rigid fixation. The RibFix Blu Fixation System is designed to offer surgeons simplicity and ease of use when approaching rib fracture repair. RibFix Blu plates are engineered to match the natural shape of the ribs, offering stability for direct bone healing while considering the natural movement of the chest wall. Pre-contoured and narrow plate design. Cancellous self-drilling screw design. Innovative in-situ plate to bone approximation tools.
Pectus Excavatum Repair
Pectus Blu - Minimally Invasive Excavatum Repair
Next generation minimally invasive pectus system, with pre-bent bars, new stabilizer design and intuitive instrumentation. Zimmer Biomet has over two decades of clinical data and design expertise in the minimally invasive repair of Pectus Excavatum. Pectus Blu3 is the next-generation Pectus repair system, featuring pre-bent bars, a new stabilizer design, plus intuitive instrumentation. This all adds up to a system that is designed to improve procedural efficiency* and help surgeons deliver optimal results in deformity correction for both pediatric and adult patients.
