Device Story

Resorbable Screw Anchor; screw-type anchor for attaching soft tissue to bone during healing. Manufactured from 85% L-Lactide/15% Glycolide material. Available in 3.5 mm and 5.5 mm sizes; preloaded on driver with monofilament or braided sutures. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for orthopedic soft tissue reattachment procedures. Device provides mechanical fixation; material resorbs over time. Benefits include secure tissue-to-bone attachment during healing phase without permanent hardware.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via mechanical bench testing.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 85% L-Lactide/15% Glycolide copolymer. Design: Screw-type anchor with screw and head portions. Sizes: 3.5 mm and 5.5 mm. Delivery: Preloaded on driver with suture. Sterilization: Sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue reattachment in shoulder, wrist/hand, ankle/foot, elbow, and knee procedures. Applicable to patients requiring ligament, tendon, or capsule repair/reconstruction, including Bankart, SLAP, rotator cuff, Achilles, and collateral ligament repairs.

Regulatory Classification

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.
