A rib/rib cage internal fixation/bracing system bracing bar is a thin, typically metal implant used to support and stabilize fractured ribs or bridge gaps in the rib cage when used with rib grip or anchor implants. These devices help maintain proper alignment and structural integrity during the healing process.
Such devices are supplied as non-sterile items that must be sterilized before surgical implantation. They may be designed for temporary use with surgical removal or for permanent placement within the body, depending on the clinical requirements.
