PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants are indicated for use in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Device Story
PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants are three-dimensional facial prostheses (nasal, chin, and malar) fabricated from expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The device is provided sterile in multiple sizes for use by surgeons in plastic and reconstructive procedures. The implant serves as a structural augmentation material to restore or enhance facial contours. It is a passive, non-electronic implantable device.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on material composition, design similarity, and biocompatibility testing.

Device Description The PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants are threedimensional facial prosthesis (Nasal, Chin, and Malar) that are made from expanded Polytetraflouroethylene (ePTFE). The device is offered sterile in multiple sizes.
The PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants are indicated for Intended Use use in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Device The indications and intended use of the PureForm Technological ePTFE Facial Implants are identical to those of the predicate facial implants. The material of fabrication of Characteristics and Comparison to the PureForm Implants is the same as that of the Gore-Tex SAM, Surgiform Facial Augmentation Predicate Devices Material (SFAM) and the lining of the Implantech Composite Facial Implants. The Surgiform PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants do not use or introduce any new technological characteristics.
Conclusions Based on a comparison of indications and intended use, material of fabrication, similarity of design, and demonstrated biocompatibility the Surgiform PureForm ePTFE Facial Implants are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Fairfax:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
