## Intended Use

The intended use of Störk Instrumente GmbH's Bone Wires is the fixation of bone fractures and / or to guide other implants during insertion to the skeletal system. Due to their design and used materials, which is either Stainless Steel acc. ASTM F 138 / 139 (316 L) or Titanium Alloy acc. to ASTM F 136, Grade 5, these devices can be used as implants. Störk Instrumente GmbH is offering their Bone Wires only in an Non-Sterile condition.

## Device Story

Bone Wires (Kirschner, Steinmann, Bonell, Cerclage) function as metallic fixation fasteners for bone fractures or as guide wires for other implants. Used in orthopedic surgery; operated by physicians. Devices are provided non-sterile; require user-validated steam sterilization (134°C/270°F, 3 bar, 10 minutes) prior to use. Benefit includes stabilization of skeletal system components.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless Steel (ASTM F 138/139, 316L) or Titanium Alloy (ASTM F 136, Grade 5). Form factor: Wires/pins (smooth or threaded). Energy source: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Non-sterile, user-validated steam sterilization required.

## Regulatory 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.
