Device Story

Arthrex metal and polymer implants (screws, anchors, suture tacks, buttons) used for bone fixation and soft tissue reattachment. Implants are threaded or smooth, cannulated or non-cannulated, and may include sutures. Used by orthopedic surgeons in arthroscopic or arthrotomy procedures. Device provides mechanical fixation of grafts or tissues to bone to facilitate healing. This submission specifically updates the sterilization process to Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP).

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification activities included pull testing, shelf life, sterilization validation, and microbiological testing.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136), medical grade polymers (PLLA, PLDLA). Design: Threaded/smooth, cannulated/non-cannulated screws, anchors, tacks, buttons. Sterilization: Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) validated to SAL 10^-6.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic soft tissue-to-bone fixation, ligament/tendon repair, and reconstruction in shoulder, elbow, knee, foot/ankle, hand/wrist, and maxillofacial regions. Includes ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and female urinary incontinence (bladder neck suspension). Prescription use only.

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.
