Intended Use
The intended use of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System is for securing soft tissue to bone in such procedures as rotator cuff repair, Bankart lesion repair, and SLAP lesion repair in the shoulder, as well as Achilles tendon repair in the foot/ankle, medial collateral ligament repair in the elbow, and bladder neck suspension in the pelvis. The suture anchor engages in bone so as to provide a stable, bony attachment site for the soft tissue. The device is intended to be used primarily in arthroscopic procedures but may be used in open procedures as well, and is intended for single-use only.
Device Story
The Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System is a mechanical fixation device used to secure soft tissue to bone. It consists of a titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V ELI) screw-in anchor pre-threaded with nonabsorbable braided polyethylene surgical suture and pre-assembled on a disposable inserter. The device is used by surgeons in arthroscopic or open procedures to provide a stable bony attachment site for soft tissue. By anchoring the suture into the bone, the device facilitates tissue repair, potentially improving patient outcomes in orthopedic and reconstructive surgeries. The system is provided sterile for single-use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device was validated for sterility (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135) and biocompatibility (ISO-10993-1 and G95-1). Performance was shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium alloy (Ti 6Al 4V ELI). Design: Screw-in anchor with nonabsorbable braided polyethylene suture. Form factor: Pre-assembled on a disposable inserter. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135). Biocompatibility: ISO-10993-1 compliant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue to bone fixation in procedures including rotator cuff, Bankart, and SLAP lesion repairs (shoulder); Achilles tendon repair (foot/ankle); medial collateral ligament repair (elbow); and bladder neck suspension (pelvis).
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.

#### Predicate Device
Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System (#K983557), currently marketed by Stryker Endoscopy (San Jose, CA).
#### Summary
This summary of Special 510(k) safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with requirements of SMDA 1990.
The line extension of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System is intended for use in providing a means for securing soft tissue to bone using suture. The line extension of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System consists of a titanium alloy (Ti 6A1 4V ELI) screw-in type anchor pre-threaded with nonabsorbable braided polyethylene surgical suture, and pre-assembled on a disposable inserter.
The line extension of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System will be provided sterile for single-use (ASTM 4169). The device line extension will be sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (ANSVAAMI/ISO 11135), including limits for Ethylene Oxide residuals and validated to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10°. The device is biocompatible per ISO-10993-1 and G95-1. The line extension of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System is substantially equivalent in material of construction, overall design, intended use, and safety and efficacy to the predicate device. The subject device was shown to have substantially equivalent performance when compared to the predicate device.
The line extension of the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System is considered substantially equivalent to the Stryker Wedge Suture Anchor System (#K983557).
