Trochanteric grips and cable-plates available in the system. This remarkably tough, yet elastic, polymer cable eliminates a potential source of metal debris and ion release in your patients requiring cerclage. Metal cable filament bundles may be subject to corrosion, fretting wear, and fatigue failure. SuperCable’s polymer construction also reduces the chance of glove tears and sharps injury that can occur with sharp metal cable ends.

The “finger friendly” polymer materials used in SuperCable help avoid these risks. “I have yet to do a case with metal cables where I did not feel the sharp edges of the cable through my glove. I have been using the Kinamed SuperCables for many years and I have found them to be easy to use, very strong and they don’t cut me or my gloves! As far as I am concerned, the Kinamed SuperCable is the best cable system available today.” Paul Nourbash, M.D. Barrington Orthopedic Specialists Chicago, IL.
