Is the splint strong enough to support anticipated respiratory loading over the duration of fracture healing?

0

Mechanical testing showed that the splints in the MatrixRIB system were sufficiently strong to endure a load level 5x anticipated respiratory loading for a period of 360,000 cycles. After that loading period, the splint/rib construct maintained a compressive bending strength similar to intact osteoporotic bone, or 23 times respiratory loading.
