Abstract

Alternatives to the current invasive rib implants are discussed as from the current solutions with their constraints and disadvantages mainly in surgery application and clinical consequences. A novel rib fixator is presented with an experimental validation and characterization for a potential implementation in facilitating osteosynthesis of multifractured ribs. Testing is designed with lab facilities replicating normal breathing and coughing. Results of lab test with a Ribolution rib fixator prototype are discussed from experiences with pig ribs with satisfactory results in behavior and numerical values.
