Device Story
Suture anchor system for soft tissue-to-bone fixation; comprises PEEK polymer and titanium anchor preloaded on disposable inserter. Surgeon inserts anchor into bone; design allows post-insertion tension adjustment of tissue. Used in orthopedic procedures (shoulder, knee, foot/ankle, elbow) by surgeons. Provides secure fixation; facilitates tissue repair; improves clinical outcomes for ligament/tendon reattachment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only. Ultimate tensile strength testing characterized insertion and fixation strength compared to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK polymer and titanium. Form factor: 3.9mm suture anchor preloaded on disposable inserter. Principle: Mechanical bone fixation fastener. Single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue-to-bone fixation in shoulder, foot, ankle, knee, and elbow procedures, including rotator cuff, Bankart, SLAP, biceps, ligament, and tendon repairs/reconstructions. For single-use only.
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.

#### Purpose
Stryker currently offers a 5.5mm ReelX STT Suture Anchor (cleared as the Spin-Loc Suture Anchor System- K090530). This submission serves to introduce an additional 3.9mm ReelX STT Suture Anchor to the market.
#### Description
The ReelX STT Suture Anchor System Line Extension (here forth referred to as the 3.9mm ReelX STT Suture Anchor) is an anchor designed to facilitate fixation of soft tissue to bone. The system is comprised of a PEEK polymer and titanium suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter. This anchor design allows the surgeon to adjust the tension of the tissue after the anchor has been inserted in bone.
