Indications for Use

The Acumed Polarus® Connect System includes plates, nails, screws and accessories designed to address fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the humerus.

Device Story

Acumed Polarus® Connect System consists of bone plates, intramedullary nails, screws, and associated surgical instruments. Designed for use by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to provide internal fixation for humeral fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. Implants stabilize bone segments to facilitate healing. System components are implanted during surgical procedures; instruments assist in correct placement. Device provides mechanical support to bone structure during the healing process.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing was performed according to ASTM F382 (metallic bone plates), ASTM F543 (metallic bone screws), and ASTM F1264 (intramedullary fixation devices) to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Manufactured from Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) and PEEK (ASTM F2026). System includes plates, intramedullary nails, screws, and surgical instruments. Provides stabilization of humerus fractures. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F382, ASTM F543, and ASTM F1264.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the humerus.

Regulatory Classification

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.
