System components include machined titanium plates, quick-release pins, and 3.0mm locking screws. Device used by surgeons in clinical settings (OR) for sternal closure/repair post-sternotomy or fracture. Surgeon applies plates to sternum using screw fixation to create rigid construct. Stabilization promotes bone fusion. Sterile delivery. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Machined titanium. Components: Plates, quick-release pins, 3.0mm locking screws. Principle: Mechanical bone fixation via screw-plate construct. Sterile. ## Regulatory Identification A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes Sternal Fixation System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
