Surgical Technique When the Ortholox UHMWPE Sternal Cerclage Band is removed from the sterile package, it may be full width at the needle-band junction. (Picture on the left) Before starting the application, a sterile staff should round this part of the band by fingers as shown in the picture on the right. This will help the band to follow the hole of the needle if the needle is passed through the bone instead of intercostal approach and minimise the risk of getting stuck in the bone. Push the Stainless Steel needle attached to the Ortholox UHMWPE Sternal Cerclage Band through the...

Surgical Technique Hold the Ortholox Torque Handle Compatible Cerclage Band Tensioner with the ratchet wheel on the right-hand side. Pass the end of the band through the narrow slot at the tip of the shaft (below the bar) towards the handle. Locate the twin prongs at the tip of the Tensioner shaft on either side of the locking block so that it is held firmly in place on the cortical bone. Pull the end of the band without twisting, towards the T-part of the Tensioner.

Surgical Technique Once the locking screw is secured, release the tension on the remaining part of the band by pressing the release trigger on the Cerclage Band Tensioner. Then, re-check the tension on each of the cerclage bands as tension may be lost as each subsequent band is applied due to minor shifts of the fragments. If necessary, repeat all steps from Step 5 after loosening the set screw for any band that lost its tension. The procedures should be repeated for the application of additional bands, if needed. Attention: If multiple bands are to be applied, the excess lengths of band...
