DePuy Synthes CMF announced the launch of the MatrixRIB System which enables a less invasive surgical fixation and stabilization of rib fractures with precontoured, low-profile titanium plates, locking screws and intramedullary splints.

Designed to provide orthopedic surgeons with less invasive access through small incisions to rib fractures, including difficult to reach sub-scapula rib fracture, the MatrixRIB Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) includes a trocar, threaded reduction tool with self-drilling tip and 90° screwdriver with drilling capability. According to a company press release, the MatrixRIB System is indicated for the fixation and stabilization of rib fractures, fusions and osteotomies of normal and osteoporotic bone.

“Surgical fixation and stabilization of painful rib fractures is a growing procedure and the introduction of new MIPO instrumentation should help make it an even more attractive option for both surgeons and patients,” Karl Zerderfeldt, group marketing manager at DePuy Synthes CMF, stated in the release.
