Surgeon uses anchors and grasper to secure tissue; mechanical fixation provides stability during healing. Benefits include simplified surgical technique and secure tissue attachment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on physical bench testing demonstrating that the device meets specifications and does not raise new safety or effectiveness issues.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises metallic bone anchors (nail and screw types) and targeting grasper. Materials are biocompatible and consistent with predicate devices. Mechanical fixation principle; non-powered, manual surgical instrumentation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone during rotator cuff repair.

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.
