A fastener cartridge can be used with a shaft of a tool during an orthopedic procedure. The fastener cartridge can have a main housing that can be attached to fastener housing including a fastener chamber and a backstop component. The fastener chamber includes a plurality of non-flexible tabs and the backstop component includes a plurality of resiliently flexible tabs. The fastener housing is configured to include a plurality of fasteners that are arranged therein such that the longitudinal axes of the fastener chamber and the plurality of fasteners are collinear. The plurality non-flexible tabs prevent one of the fasteners from inadvertently passing entirely out of an outlet of the fastener chamber and the plurality of resiliently flexible tabs allow the fasteners to move axially in the first direction and restrict movement of the fasteners in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A surgical implant may include a first implant member, a second implant member and a fastener. The first implant member may include a first aperture having first and second ends. The first aperture may include a female threaded portion and a barrier member disposed between the first and second ends and extending radially inward into the first aperture. The female threaded portion may be disposed between the first end and the barrier member. The second implant member may include a second aperture. The fastener may extend at least partially through the first and second apertures and may include a head portion and a shaft portion. The shaft portion may include a flexible tab and a male threaded portion engaging the female threaded portion. The male threaded portion may be disposed between the flexible tab and the head portion.

Locking mechanism for pectus bar

A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.
