Modular Sternal Cable System
The Synthes Modular Sternal Cable System is a set of stainless steel implants* and instruments designed to facilitate sternal repair and reconstruction. This system addresses the unique requirements of sternal closures.
The sternal cable can be placed around the bone, throughcannulated screws, and/or through plates. The cable’s flexibility and strength enable multiple closure options that provide stable fixation.
The system’s modular design provides flexibility for placementof implants depending on the patient’s anatomy and boneintegrity. Implants can be combined to meet a specific patient need.
The Tensioner/Crimper/Cutter is a single, multipurpose instrument used to tension the cable, crimp the ferrule, and cut the cable.
* Implant quality 316L stainless steel

Preoperative Considerations
Preoperative considerationsThe 1.0 mm sternal cable is designed to be used alone(with needle) or with cannulated screws and plates (withoutneedle). The benefits of each technique, the needs of the patient, and surgeon preference should be considered whenselecting a method of closure. The method chosen will dictate the sternal cable sets that should be prepared for the surgical procedure.
This guide outlines three surgical techniques for using cableto close the sternum:– Peristernal (around the sternum) using cable with needle
– Transsternal (through the sternum) using cable and cannulated screws
– Sternal reconstruction using cable, cannulated screws, and plates

1Suture cable around sternum
Suture the cable around the two halves of the sternum, using the attached cutting needle. The needle can be sutured through the manubrium and the intercostal spaces.
-
2Remove quick-release needle
After weaving the cable, remove the quick-release needlefrom the end of the cable by holding the cable with onehand and pulling sharply on the needle with forceps.
Remove the silicone tip guard from the parallel end fitting.Pass the end of the cable through the parallel end fitting.
Important: After passing the end of the cable through theparallel end fitting, the cable ends should be on oppositesides of the parallel end fitting.

1Identify screw locations
Instrument
03.501.001 Depth Gauge, for 4.5 mm Sternal Cannulated Screws
Using a marking pen, identify locations for screw placementin the manubrium and sternal body.
Using the depth gauge, measure the thickness of the sternum medial to the planned screw location.
Select the appropriate length screw based on the depthgauge reading. If attaching a plate to the sternum with the screw, add 3 mm to the screw length.
Transsternal Technique Using Cable (without Needle) and Cannulated Screws
Bicortical screw insertion is critical for maximum effectiveness. Careful measurement and screw selection is necessary.

4Weave the cable
Weave the cable through the cannulated screws as described in Steps 5–6 of the transsternal technique on pages 13–14.
Note: It is recommended that a minimum of ten loops beused for closure with plates and screws, either using tensingle loops, or five figure-of-eight loops (two loops each),or a combination of each totalling ten loops.
Alternative TechniqueAlternatively, the cable may be used without the parallel endfitting and terminated with a ferrule after passing it through a side hole in the plate. To use this technique, first remove the parallel end fitting from the cable. Pass the cable throughthe first cannulated screw from anterior to posterior. Thefinished end of the cable will sit flush in the head of thescrew, as shown. (Figure 1)

-
Synthes CMF 23
2Pass cable through ferrule
Pass the cable through the flat side of the nose first.
Note: The gold collar may need to be pulled back slightly topass the cable through the ferrule. Make sure the ferrule isfacing up before pulling back on the collar, to ensure that itdoes not fall out of the instrument.
3Wrap cable into tensioning wheel
Wrap the cable clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) and pull forward until one or two audible clicks are heard.
Note: The gold collar can be used to rotate the nose of the tool.
-
Securing Cables continued
4Tension cable
Ensure tensioning wheel is set.
Turn the wheel counterclockwise until the ball detent is engaged, if it is not already engaged.
Ensure the parallel end fitting and ferrule are positionedstraight and along the line of the cable.
Important: The nose of the instrument should be square to the cable.
Turn the wheel clockwise (in the direction of the arrow) totension the cable appropriately. The cable should fit snuglyto the bone.
Important: This instrument has a clutch mechanism whichwill slip when the maximum tension is achieved, preventingovertensioning of the cable.
Note: Maximum tension is ensured when two audible clicksare heard. Avoid angling the ferrule during tensioning, asthis may cut the cable prematurely.

Emergency Cable Removal and Postoperative Considerations
Emergency cable removal
Instrument
391.905 Cable Cutter
In case of emergency, the cable can be cut using standard wire cutters; however, using the cable cutter is recommended.
If cannulated screws have been used, they may be left in the sternum and used again as a channel for cable passage.
Postoperative considerations
Standard sternal precautions are recommended for a minimum of six weeks after surgery including:
– Do not lift more than ten pounds
– Do not pull or lift the patient by the arms
– Do not raise arms greater than 90° at shoulder level
– Avoid trunk twisting
– For strong cough, press pillow to chest
