The FiberTape sternal closure system is a 100% nonmetallic, suture-based alternative to metal wires traditionally used to close the sternum after cardiac surgery. The FiberTape sternal closure implant, which is implanted similarly to metal wires, provides strong, reproducible compression that helps support sternal approximation and stabilization.
