Radiopaque Cerclage Cable (Prod 160215)






About Radiopaque Cerclage Cable (Prod 160215)

Radiopaque Cerclage Cable used by surgeons to treat bone and spine fractures

The cerclage cable is made out of Radiopaque fiber which is the only radiopaque ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene medical fiber in the world. According to the manufacturer while there are currently other polymeric cerclage cables in the market, none is radiopaque and therefore cannot be visualized during and after surgical intervention.

The manufacturer also says that the Radiopaque fiber is 15 times stronger than steel yet it is still pliable and flexible which, the company maintains, will lower the risk of bone damage.

The fiber itself is biocompatible and chemically inert which can help reduce tissue inflammation, irritation and complications associated with metal allergies.
