MatrixRIB - Stable fixation of normal and osteoporotic ribs

The Synthes MatrixRIB Fixation System consists of precontoured locking plates, locking screws, and intramedullary splints for the fixation and stabilization of ribs.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Plates are precontoured to fit an average rib shape, which minimizes intraoperative bending
  • Intramedullary splints allow minimally invasive procedures
  • Designed to be used without removing periosteum, to maximize blood supply to the bone
  • All implants are made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb) for flexibility and strength
  • Drill bit with stop to prevent over-drilling
  • Locking design for stable construct
  • Low-profile 1.5 mm thick plates
  • One screw diameter for use with all plates and splints
