Device Story
Implantable titanium alloy (6AL-4V ELI) suture anchor; preloaded with two or three Size #2 Teleflex Force Fiber sutures; assembled to inserter tool. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Inserter screws anchor into bone; sutures secure soft tissue. Benefits include mechanical stabilization of tendons/ligaments to bone to facilitate healing. No electronic or software components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including pull-out strength comparisons to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium Alloy (6AL-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. Form factor: Threaded bone fixation fastener with preloaded sutures. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO). No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone in shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, hand/wrist, and elbow procedures including rotator cuff repair, ligament reconstruction, and tendon reattachment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
