This product is the second rib fracture system that SIG Medical is commercializing. SIG Medical is now the market leader in offering the most comprehensive portfolio of rib fracture products that are revolutionizing traditional care which left patients immobilized and in pain for months
The comprehensive AdvantageRib Anterior System contains titanium plates and screws to treat rib fractures through a traditional anterior approach. The system features anatomically contoured plates designed to fit patient anatomy, with geometry based on state-of-the-art scientific studies. The system also has highly adaptable straight plates allowing the surgeon to create a construct to fit even the most challenging clinical scenarios. The titanium screws available in the system consist of self-drilling, self-tapping, locking, non-locking, and a length range for all sizes of rib anatomy. The intuitive instrumentation in the set allows for quick implantation while minimizing soft tissue dissection. The AdvantageRib Anterior System is intended for the fixation, stabilization, and fusion of rib fractures and osteotomies of normal and osteoporotic bone. “We are thrilled to have achieved this approval and now have the most comprehensive portfolio of rib fracture products,” said Andrew Davison, VP of Product Development and Marketing at SIG Medical. “The AdvantageRib family of products is truly revolutionary and will change how suffering patients are treated. Surgeons now have choices as to how best to treat their patients, in both a traditional manner or with our novel system that is on the forefront of improving how rib fractures are managed.
