  • Title: Cardiopulmonary bypass line sternal wrapping: technical tips.
    Author: Aratari C, Manché A, Capestro F, Torracca L.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2010 Dec; 11(6):794-5. PubMed ID: 20826557.
    Abstract:
    Cardiopulmonary bypass line sternal wrapping (SW) is a new approach to sternal care which avoids bone wax and offers mechanical protection and a shield from bacterial contamination, with beneficial effects on sternal healing. Since its introduction in February 2008, the technique has undergone some developments: it is possible to harvest internal thoracic arteries with SW in place and its haemostatic properties have improved.
