Every year, over one million people worldwide undergo open-heart surgery in the fight against cardiovascular disease. American Heart Association reports that each year in the United States, over 700,000 open-heart surgeries are performed requiring mid-line sternotomies. Sternal closure systems are used for closing the sternum or the breastbone after sternal reconstructive surgical procedures. The SternaLock Blu System of Zimmer Biomet applies the proven principles of locking rigid fixation to sternal closure and offers a rigid fixation alternative for mid-line sternotomies as well as a variety of minimally invasive approaches including the mini-sternotomy and mini-thoracotomy. The SternaLock Blu plate’s thinner and anatomical design help address the challenges associated with fixating a 90-degree sternal incision or rib osteotomy. The plates increase stability at the osteotomy site, while still allowing for minimally invasive access.

Sternal Closure Systems Market Outlook

Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and growing availability of medical reimbursements across major markets are boosting sternal closure systems market globally. Moreover, launch of innovative devices to produce tight closure and stable union at sternum for patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery is also expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in January 2017, JACE Medical, LLC launched pre-monoblock sternal plates in the U.S. These plates are used prior to surgery and work as implant positioner. However, limited awareness among healthcare providers about novel sternal closure techniques is hampering the market growth.
