OrthoPro Titanium Sternum Locking Plate III | Rigid Sternal Fixation System for Thoracic Surgery

Advanced Rigid Fixation for Sternal Closure and Reconstruction

In the evolving landscape of cardiothoracic surgery and trauma care, the stability of the chest wall post-operation is paramount. OrthoPro introduces the Sternum Locking Plate III, a state-of-the-art osteosynthesis solution designed to address the challenges of sternal instability. Unlike traditional wire cerclage, which provides flexible fixation and can cut through osteoporotic bone, our Sternal Fixation System offers a rigid, fixed-angle construct. This stability is critical for reducing pain, preventing sternal dehiscence, and promoting primary bone healing.

The Sternum Locking Plate III is specifically engineered to withstand the cyclical physiological loads imposed by respiration and coughing. This makes it an ideal solution for high-risk patients, such as those with obesity, diabetes, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where the risk of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is elevated.

Optimized Biomechanical Design

The design of the OrthoPro Titanium Sternal Plate focuses on anatomical conformity and surgical efficiency. The “Plate III” configuration typically offers a versatile geometry that adapts well to the sternal body and manubrium, providing multi-planar fixation.

• Anatomical Contouring: The plates are pre-contoured to match the anterior chest wall topography, minimizing the need for intraoperative bending and shortening surgical time.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With a reduced thickness, the implant ensures it is palpable but not obtrusive under the skin, significantly improving patient comfort and reducing soft tissue irritation.
• Locking Technology: The system utilizes locking screws that thread into the plate head. This creates a single-unit construct that does not rely on friction against the bone plate interface to maintain stability, preventing screw toggle and backing out.
• Emergency Re-entry: The system is intuitively designed to allow for rapid release and removal in the event of a cardiac emergency requiring sternal re-opening.

Material Specifications and Quality Assurance

OrthoPro is dedicated to manufacturing medical devices that meet rigorous global standards. The Sternum Locking Plate III is fabricated from high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). This material is the gold standard in orthopedics due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior biocompatibility.

Material Benefits Include:

• MRI Compatibility: Titanium is non-ferromagnetic, allowing patients to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging safely after surgery without image artifacts or safety concerns.
• Corrosion Resistance: The alloy forms a stable passive oxide layer that resists corrosion in the physiological environment, ensuring long-term implant integrity.
• Elastic Modulus: Titanium’s elasticity is closer to that of natural bone compared to stainless steel, which aids in reducing stress shielding and encourages healthy bone remodeling.

Clinical Indications

The OrthoPro Sternal Fixation System is indicated for a wide range of thoracic procedures, providing a versatile solution for hospital procurement departments and surgeons:

• Primary Sternal Closure: Stabilization of the sternum following median sternotomy in routine and complex cardiac procedures.
• Sternal Reconstructive Surgery: Correction of chest wall deformities, such as Pectus Excavatum or Carinatum (where applicable), and repair of sternal non-union (pseudoarthrosis).
• Trauma Fixation: Stabilization of traumatic sternal fractures to restore structural integrity and protect internal organs.
• Osteotomies: Fixation following surgical cutting of the sternum for access.
