AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current methods for securing and immobilizing bone portions, particularly the sternum, after medical procedures lack effective solutions for applying compressive forces to facilitate healing while allowing for adjustable tension and ease of implantation within the human body.

Method used

A closure system comprising a bracket, a band, and a tensioning device that includes a threaded member and a cam mechanism, allowing for adjustable tensioning and secure fixation of bone portions without releasing tension, with components designed for implantation within the human body.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively secures and immobilizes bone portions, applying compressive forces to aid healing while allowing for adjustable tension and easy implantation, enhancing the stability and efficacy of bone repair procedures.

Abstract

A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.
