sternum plate
The sternum plate is a vital medical device used primarily in orthopedic surgeries for the stabilization of the sternum, or breastbone. Designed with high-grade materials, the plate's main functions include supporting the sternum after trauma, such as fracturing, and providing a framework for the proper alignment and healing of the bone. Technological features of the sternum plate include its anatomic design, which allows for a precise fit against the sternum, and its screw fixation system that ensures strong and secure stabilization. These plates are also compatible with various bone types and are often made from biocompatible materials to minimize the risk of rejection or infection. The applications of the sternum plate are extensive, from repairing chest wall deformities to supporting the sternum post-surgically in cases of sternotomy. Its versatility and effectiveness make it an indispensable tool in a surgeon's arsenal.
