Intended Use

Tensyn 110 Band is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of syndesmosis (syndesmosis disruptions) in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures which have been properly stabilized and which allow stable placement of the Tensyn™ Band apart from any other fixation hardware. For fixation during the healing process of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions, the Tensyn™ Band is used in conjunction with, but not connected to, supplemental fixation.

Device Story

Tensyn™ Band is a knotless orthopedic fixation system for syndesmosis disruptions and AC joint separations. Device consists of polymer-coated flat polyethylene terephthalate (PET) suture band tensioned and secured between two metal fasteners (narrow button and lock). Available in titanium and stainless steel. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide fixation during healing. For syndesmosis, used as standalone fixation; for AC joint, used with supplemental fixation. System provides mechanical stability to bone/ligament structures during recovery.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included rotational loading, cyclic loading, ultimate load, load at 3 mm, and shear testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Knotless fixation system comprising polymer-coated flat polyethylene terephthalate (PET) suture band and two metal fasteners (button and lock). Materials: Titanium and stainless steel. Principle: Suture-based mechanical fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation during healing of syndesmotic trauma (syndesmosis disruptions) associated with Weber B and C ankle fractures, and for acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.

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.

Dear Mr. Memmolo:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

## Technical Characteristics:

The Tensyn™ Band has similar physical and technical characteristics to the predicate devices since all devices achieve fixation through a suture between two metal fasteners.

## Performance Data:

All necessary testing has been performed with the Tensyn™ Band to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Testing included rotational loading, cyclic loading, ultimate load, load at 3 mm and shear test. The testing demonstrated that the Tensyn™ Band is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

## Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

Upon reviewing the technical information provided in this submission and comparing intended use, principle of operation, performance data, and overall technological characteristics, the Tensyn™ Band is determined to be substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed devices.
