Sternotomy Sutures: Double Sternal Wire

High Strength Sternotomy Closure System

• The Double Sternal Wire provides twice the surface area, twice the tensile strength, and eight times the shear strength of a monofilament sternotomy suture.
• Tapered junction to permit easier transternal or peristernal placement. (see picture 1 below)
• The Double Sternal Wires are quickly and easily installed with the use of the DoubleWire twister. To achieve a consistent and strong twisting result, the twister hook is pulled upward with a simultaneous rotation of the wrist. (see picture 2 below)
