Device Story
BIOFOAM Bone Wedge is a titanium metal foam implant designed for angular correction of small bones in the foot. Used by orthopedic surgeons for internal fixation during osteotomies, fusions, or fracture repairs. Device provides structural support to bone segments; requires use of ancillary fixation hardware. Available in various widths and thicknesses to accommodate specific anatomical applications. Benefits include stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Not for spinal use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness supported by non-clinical bench testing, including compression and fatigue testing.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium metal foam; wedge form factor; varying widths and thicknesses; intended for internal bone fixation; requires ancillary fixation; non-implantable in spine.
Indications for Use
Indicated for internal bone fixation for fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle and foot, including Cotton, Evans, and midfoot wedges for Hallux Valgus, medial cuneiform, lateral column lengthening, and metatarsal/cuneiform arthrodesis. Not for use in the spine. Requires ancillary 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.

K093950: BIOFOAM® Bone Wedge
(a)(4). Device Description
The BIOFOAM® Bone Wedge is a titanium metal foam wedge used for angular correction of small bones of the foot. It is offered with varying widths and thicknesses to accommodate a variety of small bone applications.
#### (a)(5). INTENDED USE
The indications for use for the subject devices convey the same overall intended use as the predicate device and were only modified to provide additional clarification, such as examples of use or the area of the foot in which the device can be used.
The BIOFOAM "Bone Wedge is intended to be used for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle and foot, such as:
- · Cotton and Evans Wedges:
- · Opening wedge osteotomies of the bones of the foot including osteotomies for Hallux Valgus
- · Opening wedge of Medial Cuneiform or Cotton osteotomies
{1}------------------------------------------------
- · Lateral Column Lengthening (Evans Lengthening Osteotomy or Calcaneal Z Osteotomy)
- · Metatarsal/Cuneiform arthrodesis
#### • Midfoot Wedges:
- · Opening wedge osteotomies of the bones of the foot including osteotomies for Hallux Valgus
- · Nonunion of arthrodesis of the Midfoot including Metatarsal/Cuneiform arthrodesis (TMT or Lapidus)
This device is intended for use with ancillary fixation. The BIOFOAM Bone Wedge is not intended for use in the spine.
#### (a)(6). Technological Characteristics Comparison
The BIOFOAM® Bone Wedge is technologically substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The subject devices include the addition of the midfoot wedge design and larger cotton wedge sizes. The subject and predicate devices are identical in material.
#### (b)(1). Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence
A testing rationale related to compression and fatigue testing was provided to support the equivalence of the subject device and shows that no new worst-case devices are introduced in this system. The safety and effectiveness of the BIOFOAM® Bone Wedge is adequately supported by the testing rationale, substantial equivalence information, materials information and comparison of design characteristics provided within this premarket notification.
#### (b)(2). Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence
N/A
#### (b){3). Substantial Equivalence — Conclusions
The design characteristics of the subject system do not raise any new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Myles:
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 note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
