Synthes Bioresorbable Suture Anchor is intended to repair ligamentous and tendinous defects in the shoulder, knee, foot, ankle, hand and wrist.
Synthes Bioresorbable Suture Anchors are injection molded from the poly(L/DL-lactide). Synthes Bioresorbable Suture Anchor is cylindrical in shape, ranges from 5.0 mm - 20.0 mm in length, has an outside diameter of 3.5 mm, and has a thread with metric profile. It is recommended to use a commercially available non-resorbable size #0, #1, or #2 USP suture in combination with this device. The Bioresorbable Suture Anchor has a drive mechanism which facilitates an interference fit of the device onto the suture anchor driver.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Synthes Bioresorbable Suture Anchor, a medical device for repairing ligamentous and tendinous defects. The summary details the device's classification, predicate devices, description, and intended use.

§ 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)
