  • Kit for sternum fixation in chest surgery
    Patent number: 6200318
    Abstract: A tool kit for use in the inducement of the reconstitution and healing of the sternum after an operation on a patient in the chest region in which during the operation the sternum is cut into two hemisterna. The kit serves for the post-operational approximation and fixation of the hemisterna in a position which enables their spontaneous growing together. The kit includes an approximation tool for the application of a selected force to the hemisterna to brig them into reconstituted configuration, and a set of clamping apparatus for firmly locking the hemisterna in the reconstituted configuration. The clamping apparatus is made of a non-immunogenic polymeric material that is readily degraded in the patient's body to yield degradation products readily absorbed by the patient's body.
