Able Medical Devices, an innovator and the first company to introduce a PEEK rigid fixation system for sternal closure, it will showcase its latest sternal closure solutions at the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) 2026 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, according to a news release.
“The company’s advanced PEEK-based sternal closure technology reflects its ongoing commitment to improving patient outcomes and surgical efficiency,” the release states.
Able Medical’s sternal closure system utilizes PEEK (polyether ether ketone) to provide surgeons with a strong, lightweight and biocompatible alternative to traditional metal implants. PEEK’s radiolucency and flexibility make it an ideal material for patients who require stability, comfort and improved visualization during the healing process.
“We’re excited to be among the first to bring a PEEK sternal closure system to market,” said Peter Didyk, senior vice president & managing director at Able Medical. “Our team’s collaboration with surgeons and engineers have driven the development of a solution that enhances patient care while simplifying the surgical experience for the cardiothoracic OR teams.”
Able Medical will exhibit its PEEK sternal closure products at STS 2026, taking place January 29-February 1, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Attendees are invited to visit Able Medical at Booth #1009 to learn more about the company’s sternal closure platform, upcoming innovations and custom design capabilities.
