Acumed’s BioBridge® Resorbable Chest Wall Stabilization Plate is a versatile, nonpermanent solution for chest wall stabilization. It was specifically designed to offer strength that exceeds typical chest wall loading¹ and a resorption time that outlasts typical bone healing time¹.

Indications for Use: In the presence of appropriate additional immobilization or fixation, indicated for maintaining the alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses or bone grafts, maintenance of relative position of weak bony tissue (e.g., bone grafts, bone graft substitutes, or bone fragments from comminuted fractures), as well as trauma and reconstructive procedures. Specifically, BioBridge can also be used on metacarpus, proximal and middle phalangeal bones, as well as long bones, flat bones, short bones, irregular bones, appendicular skeleton, and thorax.
