DEVICE: PECTUS SYSTEM (00841036128852)

A manually-operated surgical instrument designed to bend orthopaedic devices, typically those for implantation (e.g., orthopaedic rods, bone fixation plates), to an appropriate anatomical shape. The bending process is typically performed within the operating room (OR), inside or outside of the operative sterile field. The device may be hand held or table mounted. This is a reusable device.

A non-sterile implantable device intended to be used to reduce the deformity of pectus excavatum (funnel chest) by applying outward force from a position deep to the sternum to reposition the sternum; it is typically used in paediatric patients and surgically removed when remodelling is evident (after 2-3 years). It is a thin curved bar, with or without serrations, made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, titanium (Ti)] that can be anchored with wires or with stabilizer plates laterally on the rib cage. This is a single-patient device intended to be sterilized prior to use.
