kontour Brochure of Sternal Fixation - Talon

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The document details various models of the Puncher Caliper Reduction Clamp and Screw Driver Instrument, specifically the KTS and KTD series, which are part of the Sternal Fixation System by Kontour Medical. These instruments are designed for sternal fixation, providing options such as Double Talon and Single Talon configurations.

Specifications and Features: The instruments are made from high-end titanium alloy materials and feature a 3D HugTM fixation design. They are user-friendly with a quick learning curve for operation practice. The system aims to provide reliable rigid fixation, shorten healing time, and alleviate patient discomfort.

Clinical Benefits: The Talon products offer better clinical benefits compared to conventional stainless wiring methods. They are designed to reduce hospital stays, accelerate sternum recovery time, and lower the risk of sternum dehiscence and fracture.

Testing and Results: The document includes results from a tensile strength test conducted by the Northwest Nonferrous Metal Research Institute of China using a US INSTRON machine. The Single Talon device showed superior performance, withstanding forces up to 166N without fracturing, compared to the stainless wire which fractured at 98N.

Risk Factors: The document outlines high-risk factors associated with median sternotomy, including postoperative, intraoperative, and preoperative risks such as obesity, COPD, osteoporosis, and diabetes. It emphasizes the importance of proper incision positioning, hemostasis, minimal invasive techniques, and effective sterile techniques.

Postoperative Observations: Preoperative and postoperative 3D CT scans demonstrate the effectiveness of the fixation system in achieving rigid fixation of the sternum. The document highlights the potential for up to 5% of patients to experience complications such as unstable sternal fixation and infections.
