The Arthrex Bio-Button is intended for the suture fixation of soft tissue to bone, utilizing the Arthrex® Corkscrew™ Suture Anchor, and polyester braided sutures appropriate to the procedure, up to size 5 (single strand). This product is intended for use in repairing rotator cuff tears.
The Bio-Button is a PLA disc consisting of four holes for passing suture. Once suture is passed through the soft tissue, the two free ends of the suture are brought through the Bio-Button in any two holes. Soft tissue reattachment is accomplished by tying the suture ends over the Bio-Button securing the suture and disc to the bone.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
