Rapid Sternal Closure System (TALON) — TALON  

Mediastinitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Randomized, Controlled, Phase 4 Study of Sternal Plating (Rapid Sternal Closure System, KLS Martin L.P.) in Cardiac Surgical Subjects at Higher Risk for Sternal Wound Complications.

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective is to establish if the Rapid Sternal Closure System (RSCS) improves early postoperative recovery as manifested by decreased pain and improved pulmonary function.

Secondary objectives include evaluation of Rapid Sternal Closure System with regard to SWCs (surgical wound complication defined as surgically treated sternal wound infection and sternal instability/non-union) as outlined in the protocol.

For a given study endpoint, the null hypothesis will be no difference between the Rapid Sternal Closure System group and the control group. The alternative hypothesis will be a difference between 2 groups. The statistical objective of this study is to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
