Intended Use
The G-FORCE® Suture Anchor System is indicated for use: - In the repair of shoulder instability secondary to Bankart lesion, rotator cuff tear, a slap lesion, acromioclavicular separation, biceps tenodesis, deltoid tear/separation, or capsular shift or capsulolabral reconstruction; - In the repair of elbow instability secondary to biceps tendon detachment, tennis elbow, or ulnar or radial collateral ligament tear/separation; - In the repair of hand/wrist instability secondary to tear or separation of the scapholunate ligament, ulnar collateral ligament, or radial collateral ligament; - In the repair of knee instability secondary to tear or separation of the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, patellar tendon, or posterior oblique ligament, or secondary to iliotibial band tenodesis; - In the repair of foot/ankle instability secondary to tear or separation of the Achilles tendon, lateral stabilization tendons/ligaments, medial stabilization tendons/ligaments, midfoot tendons/ligaments, or metatarsal tendons/ligaments.
Device Story
G-FORCE® Suture Anchor System is a sterile, single-use, hand-held device for attaching soft tissue to bone. System includes PEEK-OPTIMA® anchors preloaded with Force Fiber™ (polyethylene-based) sutures and tapered needles. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to repair instability in shoulder, elbow, hand/wrist, knee, and foot/ankle. Surgeon inserts anchor into bone to secure soft tissue; provides mechanical fixation for tissue healing. Benefits include stable reattachment of ligaments/tendons to bone.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Torque and tensile strength characteristics were tested to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Anchors: PEEK-OPTIMA®; Sutures: Force Fiber™ (polyethylene-based); Needles: Tapered. Anchor diameters: 3.5 and 5.0mm. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide gas. Mechanical fixation device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue-to-bone repair in the shoulder, elbow, hand/wrist, knee, and foot/ankle due to instability, tears, or detachments of specific ligaments and tendons.
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.
