Penn State researchers have developed a medtech system for surgically mending broken ribs in a minimally invasive procedure.

Manufactured by Zimmer Biomet, RibFix Advantage was created by three physicians and a biomedical engineer at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The product is designed to be a quicker, less traumatic method for mending broken ribs than the traditional, invasive surgery.  Dr. Peter Dillon, chief clinical officer of Penn State Health, Dr. Donald Mackay, interim chair of the Department of Surgery at the College of Medicine, Dr. Randy Haluck, chief of minimally invasive surgery at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and Barry Fell, a biomedical engineer, developed the medical breakthrough.

Haluck said the product’s presence on the market will help the thousands of people who are seen at trauma centers annually to treat broken ribs.

At Penn State, researchers are solving real problems that impact the health, safety, and quality of life of people across the Commonwealth, the nation, and around the world.

For decades, federal support for research has fueled innovation that makes our country safer, our industries more competitive, and our economy stronger. Recent federal funding cuts threaten this progress.
