• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The system is used to stabilize and aid in the fusion of fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius.

Device Story

The DRLock Distal Radius Volar System is a set of metallic bone fixation implants used to stabilize fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius. The system comprises four fixation plates, twenty-five screws, and eleven pegs. These components are surgically implanted by a physician to provide internal fixation, aiding in bone fusion. The device is intended for clinical use in a surgical setting.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Finite element analysis and mechanical testing were performed to confirm substantial equivalence and performance requirements.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Type 316L Stainless Steel conforming to ASTM F 138. Components: Fixation plates, screws, and pegs. Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the fixation of unstable distal radius fractures and osteotomies.

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.
