Intended Use

The Implex Screw and Washer System is indicated for use in the attachment of ligaments, tendons and other soft tissue to bone.

Device Story

Implex Screw and Washer System consists of Implex Continuum Bone Screw (5 mm diameter; 15-65 mm lengths) and Hedrocel®/CP titanium washer. Washer available in two versions: flat tissue-contacting surface or flat surface with recessed grooves; three outer diameters (14, 17, 20 mm). Device used by surgeons for soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Mechanical testing confirms strength of CP Titanium/Hedrocel® interface. System provides secure attachment for ligaments and tendons.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing demonstrated strength of the CP Titanium/Hedrocel® interface. Material and structural properties verified via MAF#920.

Technological Characteristics

Components: CP Titanium and Hedrocel®. Screw diameter: 5 mm. Washer diameters: 14 mm, 17 mm, 20 mm. Mechanical fixation principle. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for attachment of ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissue to bone in patients requiring surgical fixation.

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.
