## Intended Use

StarPore™ implants are intended for the restoration or augmentation of bony contour in craniofacial defects.

## Device Story

StarPore™ is a range of preformed, porous high-density polyethylene (HDPE) implants; designed to restore or augment bony contour in craniofacial defects. Unlike the predicate device (PoreStar, K171037), which is patient-specific based on 3D CT scans, StarPore™ is offered as off-the-shelf implants in various sizes and shapes. Surgeons select an appropriate size and cut the implant intra-operatively to achieve an anatomically matched fit. The porous architecture, created by star-shaped particles, mimics trabecular bone. The device is non-conductive, non-magnetic, and MRI-compatible. It is provided sterile via ethylene oxide gas for single-use in a clinical setting.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and design validation/verification activities previously performed for the PoreStar (now StarPore) product line, including material properties, sterilization, biocompatibility, and shelf-life/stability testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Medical grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Architecture: Interconnecting porous structure resembling trabecular bone. Dimensions: Lengths 27-80mm, widths 27-110mm, thicknesses 1-8mm. Energy: None (passive implant). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide gas. MRI compatibility: Non-conductive and non-magnetic.

## Regulatory Identification

Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.

K922489 and K012350 provide reference devices that have previously been cleared with preformed shapes for craniofacial defects. The geometries of the subject implants are similar to the reference devices previously cleared under K922489 and K002586 for craniofacial defects.

#### Device Description:

StarPore™ (previously cleared as PoreStar™ Patient Specific Implants) is a range of anatomically shaped surgical implants manufactured from porous high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The star ("Star-") shaped particles create an interconnecting porous ("-Pore") architecture resembling trabecular bone. The implants are provided sterile and intended for single-use. StarPore™ is manufactured from medical grade HDPE (an electrically nonconductive and nonmagnetic polymer) and is suitable for use during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) submission is to add "off-the-shelt" implant options to the StarPore™ product line. These off-the-shelf implants would provide surgeons the options of various sizes of implants which, unlike the predicate, would not be individually designed from 3D Computed 

{4}------------------------------------------------

Tomography (CT) scans provided to Anatomics by the referring surgeon. Instead, the subject implants would be offered in various off-the-shelf sizes and shapes which could then be cut by the prescribing surgeon intra-operatively to create an anatomically matched patient specific design.

StarPore™ is intended for single use only and is provided sterile, using ethylene oxide gas.

#### Indications for Use:

StarPore™ implants are intended for the restoration or augmentation of bony contour in craniofacial defects.
