Intended Use

The Small Hammer Toe Pin is indicated for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis.

Device Story

Small Hammer Toe Pin is a resorbable bone fixation device used for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis. Device consists of a pin with threads on one end and barbs on the other. Fabricated from LactoSorb, a polyester derivative of L-lactic and glycolic acids; material degrades in vivo via hydrolysis into L-lactic and glycolic acids, which are metabolized by the body. Intended for surgical use by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize bone during fusion. Device provides mechanical fixation during the healing process before resorbing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via non-clinical testing demonstrating statistical equivalence to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Resorbable bone fixation pin. Material: LactoSorb (poly L-lactic/polyglycolic acid copolymer). Design: Threaded end and barbed end. Principle: Mechanical fixation followed by in vivo hydrolytic degradation and metabolic resorption.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint 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.

Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed: Resorbable Hammer Toe Pin, Biomet, Inc. (K011137).

Intended Use: The Small Hammer Toe Pin is indicated for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthrodesis.

Device Description: The Small Hammer Toe Pin is made out of the oriented Lactosorb® material and is indicated for proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) joint arthrodesis. LactoSorb® is a polyester derivative of L-Lactic and glycolic acids. Poly Llactic/polyglycolic acid copolymer degrades and resorbs IN VIVO by hydrolysis into Llactic and glycolic acids, which are then metabolized by the body. The device has threads on one end and barbs on the other.

Non-Clinical Testing: Non-clinical testing demonstrated statistical equivalence between this device and the predicate.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not used to establish substantial equivalence.
