SternaLock® Blu Primary Closure System

Every year, over one million people worldwide undergo open-heart surgery in the fight against cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association reports that each year in the United States, over 700,000 open-heart surgeries are performed requiring mid-line sternotomies.

The SternaLock Blu System applies the proven principles of locking rigid fixation to sternal closure and offers a rigid fixation alternative for mid-line sternotomies as well as a variety of minimally-invasive approaches including the mini-sternotomy and mini-thoracotomy.

Clinical Results

Studies have shown that rigid fixation when compared to wire closure provide:

Increased stability¹_'²
Greater strength¹
Reduced sternal separation¹

Features and Benefits

The SternaLock Blu plates thinner and anatomical design help address the challenges associated with fixating a 90° sternal incision or rib osteotomy
The plates increase stability at the osteotomy site, while still allowing for minimally invasive access
