A Different Approach
Traditional bicortical fixation requires careful drilling, depth measurement and screw placement, all of which must consider any risk to the anatomical structures beyond the inner cortex.
Through the use of patented technology called Convergent Biaxal fixation or “CB3”, secure osteosynthesis is possible using single length, drill-free, monocortical locking screws.
This design concept, combined with an optimized plate selection, results in a system that helps eliminate risk, increase operative efficiency and provide excellent fixation for rib fractures.
Note that the CB3 requires only one depth of screw instead of using a series of lengths to match the measured depth of each area of a rib. This simplifies the application and ease of use.
