SternaLock 360 First in Man Study: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SternaLock 360 and Wire Cerclage for Sternal Fracture. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The SternaLock 360 Sternal Closure Device combines the techniques of rigid fixation with a cerclage material into a single sternal closure system. The cerclage material serves to facilitate sternal approximation, and the plates and screws serve to provide rigid fixation and prevent sternal movement and separation. The combination of a cerclage material in combination with plate and screw fixation may also lead to increased stability compared to either method used as a standalone means of closure.
