A non-invasive bioabsorbable rib fixator is presented with its mechanical design and concepts for surgery implementation. Its feasibility and efficiency are investigated though lab testing whose results are discussed with satisfactory outcomes. The rib fixator is designed with small size for fairly easy manufacturing and surgery implantation with short-time tissue absorption. The aim of the paper as well its content refers to a feasibility check and operation characterization of a rib implant for osteosynthesis of rib fractures.

Abstract
A non-invasive bioabsorbable rib fixator is presented with its mechanical design and concepts for surgery implementation. Its feasibility and efficiency are investigated though lab testing whose results are discussed with satisfactory outcomes. The rib fixator is designed with small size for fairly easy manufacturing and surgery implantation with short-time tissue absorption. The aim of the paper as well its content refers to a feasibility check and operation characterization of a rib implant for osteosynthesis of rib fractures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
