| Submission Type | Traditional |
| Regulation | 21 CFR 888.3040 |
| Device Class | Class 2 |
| Attributes | Therapeutic |
Intended Use
Indicated for small bone fusion, fractures and inter-digital fusion of the fingers, toes and small bones.
Device Story
Hammertoe Correction System consists of two intramedullary bone screws and a taper lock pin; used for small bone fusion, fractures, and inter-digital fusion of fingers and toes. System includes specialized instruments for implant site preparation and delivery. Taper lock pin creates press-fit connection between screws with light contact pressure. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Provides mechanical fixation to stabilize bone segments, facilitating fusion and healing. Implant components manufactured from titanium alloy and cobalt-chrome alloy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated via static and dynamic cantilever bending, torque to failure, pull-out force, insertion-removal torque, and axial disassembly force tests. Comparative dimensional analyses and cadaveric testing were also performed to support equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Implant-grade titanium alloy and cobalt-chrome alloy. Components: Two intramedullary bone screws, taper lock pin. Mechanism: Taper lock pin provides press-fit connection with light contact pressure. Form factor: Small bone fixation hardware. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring small bone fusion, fracture fixation, or inter-digital fusion of fingers, toes, and small bones.
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.
