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...
