Intended Use

The Synthes (USA) Rapid Resorbable Fixation System is intended for use in fracture repair and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult populations. In addition, resorbable meshes, sheets, screws and tacks may be used in non-load bearing applications for maintaining the relative position of, and /or containing, bony fragments, bone grafts, (autograft or allograft), or bone graft substitutes in reconstruction of the craniofacial or mandibular areas.

Device Story

Synthes Rapid Resorbable Fixation System comprises plates, meshes, sheets, screws, and tacks for craniofacial bone alignment and stabilization. Implants are thermoplastic, allowing heating above 55°C or cutting for anatomical contouring. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for fracture repair and reconstruction. Provides non-load bearing fixation for bone fragments and grafts. Benefits include resorbable material, eliminating need for secondary removal surgery. System is not for spinal use or load-bearing areas without supplemental rigid fixation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide). Thermoplastic properties allow shaping via heating above 55°C glass transition temperature or cutting. Components include plates, meshes, sheets, screws, and tacks. Non-electronic, mechanical fixation system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fracture repair and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult populations. Non-load bearing applications include maintaining position of bony fragments, bone grafts, or bone graft substitutes in craniofacial or mandibular reconstruction. Contraindicated in load-bearing applications (e.g., mandible) unless used with traditional rigid fixation, areas with active/latent infection, patients with limited blood supply, insufficient bone quality/quantity, or spinal use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bone plate is a metal device intended to stabilize fractured bone structures in the oral cavity. The bone segments are attached to the plate with screws to prevent movement of the segments.

Dear Mr. Dow:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
