This revolutionary polymer-based cerclage system is designed to solve many of the inherent problems of traditional monofilament wire and cabling systems.

Features of the system include:

Fatigue strength superior to both wire and cables thereby reducing complications due to breakage.

The elimination of cable-generated metal particle debris that has been shown to greatly increase wears in adjacent total joints.

No sharp cable ends to irritate patient tissue.

No sharp cable ends to cut surgeon’s gloves or cause “sharps injury”.

Provides long-term dynamic compressive loading across bone fragments to offer the possibility for better healing and increased construct strength.

Unique locking mechanism allows cables to be easily re-tightened, saving time and reducing the number of cables required. And, unlike metal cables, there is no crimping of metal.

Cables are easy and quick to manipulate within the wound.

No metal cable contacting metallic implants.

CarboJet’s CO2 gas jet quickly and thoroughly cleans and dries the bone bed by bringing blood, saline and, most importantly, fatty marrow elements to the surface where they are easily collected and removed. Cleaning and drying with CarboJet takes no more time than is typically required for drying with lap sponges. The superior cleaning achieved with CarboJet improves cement penetration depth thus offering the potential for a reduction in bone cement interface stress and increased cement mantle toughness. Increased bone-cement interface strength is the result.
