Intended Use

The TriMed Bearing Plate is intended for use as an aid the fracture healing. The implants are applied to a to fracture hound secured with bone screws and threaded or unthreaded locking fixation pegs.

Device Story

TriMed Bearing Plate is a bone fixation device used for distal radius fractures, non-unions, and osteotomies. The device consists of a plate secured to the bone using bone screws and threaded or unthreaded locking fixation pegs. It is intended to aid in fracture healing. The device is used in a clinical or surgical setting by a physician. It functions as a mechanical support system to stabilize bone segments during the healing process, providing structural fixation similar to existing bone plates.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from medical grade 316 stainless steel (ASTM F139) or medical grade wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium alloy (ASTM F136). Mechanical bone fixation plate system utilizing bone screws and locking fixation pegs. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures or non-unions of the distal radius and osteotomies of the distal radius to correct malunion.

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.
