Codubix® ŻEBRA
The prosthesis intended for chest wall defects reconstructions used after the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers
1. Description of the product:
Codubix® Żebra rib prosthesis is intended for reconstruction of extensive defects of chest wall.
Codubix® Żebra implant are manufactured with the use of knitting technique out of:
- polyester yarn – ensuring appropriate resistance to bending, compression, and surface development,
- polypropylene yarn – characterised by low specific weight.
The product is available in two sizes:
Code | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | Unit packaging | Bulk packaging |
MA-272-KOZE-001 | 250 | 20 | 1 pc. | 5 pcs. |
MA-272-KOZE-002 | 250 | 200 | 1 pc. | 5 pcs. |
The product is characterised by:
- high resistance,
- low specific weight,
- hydrophobicity contributing to lack of liquid absorption,
- lack of toxicity,
- lack of chemical activity,
- good healing-in degree,
- easiness of modelling during the implantation,
- possibility of diagnostics without artefacts.
Intended use:
Knitted polyester and polypropylene Codubix® Ribs grafts are intended for reconstruction of chest wall defects after the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of chest wall and the non-small cell lung cancers infiltrating that structure.
Before using Codubix® Ribs prosthesis the following has to be exactly determined:
- size of the defect,
- curvature adequate for patient's natural anatomy.
Final choosing and adjustment of the graft takes place during the surgical procedure (the implant can be cut).
2. Sterilisation:
Codubix® Ribs implant are delivered non-sterile. The sterilisation process has to be carried out in a validated moist heat sterilisation process in an autoclave:
- during 20 min,
- at a temperature of 121 °C.
The personnel involved in the steam sterilisation process has to possess appropriate qualifications for carrying out the steam sterilisation process (in accordance with the requirements of (PN-EN ISO 17665-1) .
