Intended Use

The Twin Fix AB 6.5 mm anchor is a bioabsorable suture anchor utilized for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone.

Device Story

Bi-lobed, bioabsorbable suture anchor; used for reattaching soft tissue to bone in orthopedic procedures. Device features attached USP No. 2 absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone during healing; anchor eventually absorbs. Benefits patient by securing tissue to facilitate repair and reconstruction.

Technological Characteristics

Bi-lobed, bioabsorbable polymer anchor; 6.5 mm diameter; includes USP No. 2 absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Identical design and material to predicate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue to bone reattachment in shoulder (Bankart, SLAP, AC separation, rotator cuff, capsular shift, biceps tenodesis, deltoid repair), foot/ankle (hallux valgus, instability, Achilles, midfoot, metatarsal repairs), elbow/wrist/hand (scapholunate, collateral ligament, lateral epicondylitis, biceps reattachment), and knee (medial/lateral collateral, posterior oblique, iliotibial band, patellar realignment/tendon repairs).

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.
