Straight Sternum Locking Plate I – Titanium Sternal Closure & Thoracic Fixation System

Advanced Solutions for Sternal Stabilization

En OrthoPro, we are committed to providing world-class medical solutions that enhance patient outcomes in thoracic surgery. The Straight Sternum Locking Plate I is a premium internal fixation system designed to address the critical needs of sternal closure. Unlike traditional wire cerclage, which provides flexible fixation and can cut through osteoporotic bone, our **straight sternum locking plate** system offers rigid stabilization. This rigidity is essential for promoting primary bone healing, reducing pain, and significantly lowering the risk of deep sternal wound infections (mediastinitis).

Design Philosophy and Biomechanics

The **Straight Sternum Locking Plate I** is engineered with a focus on biomechanical stability and anatomical compatibility. The “I” shape design is particularly effective for the sternal body, providing a straight, load-bearing strut that bridges the osteotomy or fracture line.

Key Features:

• Rigid Locking Technology: The plate features threaded holes that lock with the screw heads. This creates a fixed-angle construct that does not rely on plate-to-bone compression for stability, preserving the periosteal blood supply and preventing screw loosening.
• Low-Profile Geometry: With a minimal thickness, the plate is designed to reduce soft tissue irritation and patient discomfort, which is crucial in the thin subcutaneous tissue over the sternum.
• High-Grade Material: Manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Pure Titanium, ensuring excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and MRI compatibility.
• Emergency Release: The system is designed to allow for rapid removal in the event of a cardiac emergency requiring re-entry into the thoracic cavity.

Indicaciones clínicas

El Straight Sternum Locking Plate I is a versatile implant indicated for various thoracic procedures:

• Cierre Esternal Primario: Ideal for high-risk patients undergoing median sternotomy (e.g., patients with obesity, osteoporosis, COPD, or diabetes) to prevent sternal instability.
• Secondary Reconstruction: Essential for the treatment of sterile or infected sternal dehiscence (non-union) following failed wire closure.
• Sternal Fractures: Fixation of traumatic fractures of the sternal body to restore chest wall integrity and respiratory mechanics.
• Osteotomías: Stabilization following corrective surgeries for chest wall deformities such as Pectus Excavatum or Pectus Carinatum.

Technical Specifications and Parameters

OrthoPro ensures that all implants meet rigorous international quality standards. The **Straight Sternum Locking Plate I** is designed for ease of use and maximum reliability.

Advantages of Rigid Fixation Over Wiring

Transitioning from wire closure to the Straight Sternum Locking Plate I offers documented clinical benefits:

1. Improved Respiratory Function: A stable chest wall allows for better lung expansion and easier breathing post-surgery.
2. Faster Mobilization: Patients experience less pain and greater confidence in movement, leading to earlier discharge.
3. Reduced Complications: Significant reduction in the rates of non-union, malunion, and infection compared to standard wiring techniques.
