Cerclage System

Features of the SuperCable® Iso-Elastic™ multifilament polymer cerclage system, shown in the image, include:

Iso-elasticity: Allows long-term dynamic compressive loading on bone fragments, promoting better healing and greater construct strength.

Superior fatigue resistance: Compared to metal cables and wires, reducing complications related to fracture.

Polymer cable: Eliminates metal contact with metal implants, the risk of sharps injuries, and glove tears.

Unique “no-crimp” locking mechanism: Allows for easy cable tightening, saving time in the operating room and reducing the number of cables required.

Biocompatibility: The cable is composed of UHMWPE strands braided over a nylon core, and the clasp components are made of titanium alloy.

Flexible Design: The polymer cable is flexible and has high fatigue and tensile strength.

Larger Footprint: The double-stranded cable can minimize penetration into soft bone.

Ease of Use: The polymer cable is easy to handle and can be quickly cut with a scalpel for rapid reinsertion in an emergency.
