MatrixSTERNUM™ Fixation System
The MatrixSTERNUM™ Fixation System provides a low-profile plating solution for sternotomy and thoracotomy repair that is based upon the locked plating technology offered in the MatrixRIB Plating System. The system includes dedicated multi-hole screw guides that reduce the number of steps and intraoperative time required for plate placement and screw insertion by the surgeon.1

The MatrixSTERNUM™ Fixation System is designed for strength, operating room efficiency, and ease of use. The system is proven to provide 3 times greater construct locking strength compared to the competition.2 In addition, multi-hole Screw Guides result in 43% faster screw insertion compared to the competition.1 The low-profile plates in the system are 1.5 mm thick for contourability and low palpability.
