New Biomechanical Test Results Published

Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Different Cerclage Implants

Cerclage using is gaining attention again due to the increasing number of periprosthetic fractures. Different wiring techniques made of metal have been suggested before and used over time. Therefore, the results of existing cerclage techniques published in the study of Lenz et. al, 2013 will be compared with new polymer cerclage band technologies.

When all the results are compared, Ortholox® UHMWPE Cerclage Band System offers a safe alternative to metal multifilament cable, dual Polymer cable and steel wire when used as double wrap or multiple single wraps.

Mechanical Properties of Ortholox UHMWPE Cerclage Bands

White Paper on Ortholox UHMWPE Cerclage Bands’ mechanical properties.

We are proud to announce the release of first White Paper about Ortholox UHMWPE Cerclage Bands’ mechanical properties. The test setup was constructed according to competitor's Polymer Tape tensile strength test. Surprisingly, competitor's team used two semicircular parts which is 10cm outer diameter when brought together. There is no any long bone in this diameter. H...

Comparison for the Mechanical Properties of Sternal Cerclage Implants

Test results showing the biomechanical superiority of Ortholox® UHMWPE Sternal Cerclage Bands have been published.

This study aims to determine the mechanical properties of the Ortholox® UHMWPE Sternal Cerclage Band System in a clinically significant test setup. In addition, these results compared with Polymer Cable, Steel cable and No. 5-0 (1.0mm Diameter) stainless steel wire. Ortholox® UHMWPE Cerclage Band System was found to be 141% times stronger and 1.5 times more rigid when co...
