Features of the system include:
Fatigue strength superior to both wire and cables thereby reducing complications due to breakage.
The elimination of cable-generated metal particle debris that have been shown to greatly increase wear in adjacent total joints.
Provides long-term dynamic compressive loading across bone fragments to offer the possibility for better healing and increased strength.
Cables can be easily retightened to adjust cable tension, especially when multiple cables are applied, both saving time and reducing the number of cables required.
Cables are easy and quick to manipulate within the wound.
No metal cable contacting metallic implants.
No sharp cable ends to irritate patient tissue.
No sharp cable ends to cut surgeon’s gloves.
