Intended Use

The ParaLock Bone Plates and TUFFNEK™ Bone Screws of the ParaLock Plating System™ are indicated for use in stabilization and fixation of fractures or osteotomies; intra and extra articular fractures, joint depression, and multi-fragmentary fractures; revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the toes, feet and ankles including the distal tibia, talus, and calcaneus. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients. In addition, the TUFFNEK™ non-locking, titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) screws and washers are indicated for use in bone reconstruction, osteotomy, arthrodesis, joint fusion, fracture repair and fracture fixation, appropriate for the size of the device.

Device Story

ParaLock Plating System and TUFFNEK screws are metallic bone fixation implants for lower extremity surgery. System includes plates in various shapes (mini/standard) and screws (locking/non-locking) with size-matched washers. Implants are used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize fractures, osteotomies, or perform joint fusions. Device provides mechanical support to bone segments during healing; surgeon selects appropriate plate/screw configuration based on anatomical requirements. Benefits include structural stabilization of small bones in feet/ankles, facilitating bone reconstruction and fracture repair.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated via static and dynamic bending tests per ASTM F382 for plates and torsion, insertion/removal, and pullout tests per ASTM F543 for screws. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Implants manufactured from medical grade titanium (ASTM F67) and titanium alloy (ASTM F136). System consists of plates and screws in various shapes and sizes. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F382 and ASTM F543 standards. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for stabilization and fixation of fractures, osteotomies, intra/extra articular fractures, joint depression, multi-fragmentary fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion, and reconstruction of small bones of toes, feet, and ankles (distal tibia, talus, calcaneus) in adult and pediatric patients. Non-locking screws/washers indicated for bone reconstruction, osteotomy, arthrodesis, joint fusion, fracture repair, and fixation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
