Device Story

Cannulated screw system for bone fracture and fragment fixation; utilizes guide pins or wires for placement. Available in various lengths and thread diameters; manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti 6Al 4V E.L.I.) and 316L Stainless Steel. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for internal fixation of fractures across various anatomical sites, including joints, long bones, and small bones. Provides mechanical stabilization of bone fragments to facilitate healing. Distributed non-sterile; requires end-user steam sterilization per AAMI guidelines.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136) and 316L Stainless Steel (ASTM F138). Design: Cannulated screw system for use with guide pins/wires. Sterilization: Non-sterile, intended for steam sterilization per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11737 guidelines. Standards: ISO 9001 / EN 46001.

Indications for Use

Indicated for bone fracture and fragment fixation in patients requiring orthopedic intervention, including joint reconstructions, complex joint fractures, femoral, tibial, humeral, radial, wrist, ankle, elbow, shoulder, hand, foot, pelvic, and pediatric fractures, as well as ligament fixation and arthrodesis.

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.
