SuperCable Sternotomy Closure
SuperCable Sternotomy Closure
- Elastic Load Absorption: The Iso-Elastic property acts as a shock absorber, reducing the risk of cut-through and loss of fixation by accommodating physiological loads.
- Dynamic Compression: Provides consistent compression across sternal halves, aiding in rapid and reliable bone healing.
- Low Profile Clasp: Minimizes palpability and allows for quick re-entry in emergencies.
- Dual Strand Footprint: Reduces cut-through into soft bone, enhancing fixation.
- Reduces post-operative pain and bleeding.
- Minimizes metal sensitivity issues as it does not contain nickel.
- Facilitates faster post-op recovery and reduces patient complications and readmissions.
- Tensioning Instrument: Allows precise tightening and locking of cables, with the ability for sequential retensioning.
- Curved Mini-Passer: Facilitates the passage of the Iso-Elastic cable through intercostal spaces.
- SuperCable Iso-Elastic Sternotomy Closure Kit with options for 4 or 2 sternotomy cables and a Mini-Passer.
- Single-use and reusable instruments available.

A Better Way, For Better Outcomes The “Iso-Elastic” property of the polymer SuperCable provides “dynamic compression” across the sternal halves to better accommodate the physiologic loads acting on the healing sternum. This Iso-Elastic property also acts as a “shock absorber” on the sternum, helping to neutralize loads caused by coughing, sneezing and patient movement, thus reducing the chance of cut-through and loss of fixation. The broader footprint of the double-strand cable can also help to minimize cut-through into soft bone. The improved fixation offered by SuperCable provides the opportunity...
