Intended Use
The OSTEOTRANS™-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System is intended for use in trauma and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton, including fracture of the cranium, infant craniofacial surgery (i.e. craniosynostosis, congenital malformations), pediatric reconstructive procedures, reconstructive procedures of the cranium, craniotomy flap fixation.
Device Story
OSTEOTRANS-MX is a sterile, single-use bioabsorbable bone fixation system consisting of plates, meshes, and screws. Fabricated from hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactide (HA/PLLA) composites. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to maintain alignment of bone fractures and osteotomies during craniofacial trauma or reconstructive procedures. The device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments; the material is designed to degrade over time while supporting bone healing. It is a passive implantable device; no software or electronic components involved.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrated the device possesses the requisite mechanical strength and a favorable degradation profile to provide sustained bone fixation for the indicated procedures.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactide (HA/PLLA) composite. Form factor: Sterile, single-use bone plates, meshes, and screws of various sizes. Principle: Bioabsorbable mechanical fixation. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for trauma and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton in pediatric and adult populations, including cranial fractures, craniosynostosis, congenital malformations, and craniotomy flap fixation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.

#### Intended Use:
The OSTEOTRANS™-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System is intended for use in trauma and reconstructive procedures of the craniofacial skeleton, including fracture of the cranium, infant craniofacial surgery (i.e. craniosynostosis, congenital malformations), pediatric reconstructive procedures, reconstructive procedures of the cranium, craniotomy flap fixation.
#### Device Description:
The OSTEOTRANS™-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System devices are the sterile, single-use bone plates, meshes and screws manufactured from composites of hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactide (HA/PLLA). Plates, meshes and screws are provided with various shapes and sizes typical of other marketed fixation devices.
Used properly, in the presence of adequate immobilization, the OSTEOTRANS" MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System devices maintain accurate alignment of bone fractures and osteotomies.
# Summary of Technology:
The OSTEOTRANS "" - MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System has the same technological characteristics (i.e., design and material) when compared to the predicate devices.
Performance data demonstrate that the OSTEOTRANS ""-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System has the requisite strength and favorable degradation profile to provide sufficient and sustained bone fixation for intended uses.
### Substantial equivalence
The OSTEOTRANS The MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System is indicated for the same uses and anatomical regions as the predicate devices.
The OSTEOTRANS 2011 MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System is identical with the implants in the previously 510(lx) cleared OSTEOTRANS-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System (K061881) in terms of composition, manufacturing method, sterilization method and packaging solution.
The OSTEOTRANS™-MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System has very similar physical design features and functional characteristics as the other predicate devices. Therefore the OSTEOTRANS MX Bioabsorbable Bone Fixation System is substantially equivalent in design, materials and intended use and principles of operation to the predicate devices.
