AUXEIN Brand of Bone plates and bone screws are provided non-sterile. AUXEIN BRAND OF Bone Plates and Bone Screws & AUXEIN Brand of DCS Plate System, AUXEIN brand of Locking Plates and Locking Screws. AUXEIN Brand of Bone plates and bone screws are provided non-sterile. AUXEIN Brand of bone plates and bone screws are intended for treating fractures of various bones including the clavicle, pelvis, scapula, long bone ( humerus,ulna, radius, femur, tibia and fibula), and small bone (metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges). AUXEIN Brand of DCS plate system is used to provide fixation of fractures to the proximal femur shaft and generally indicated for use in trochanteric, pertrochanteric fractures. The system is indicated for use in adult patients only. All implants are for single use only. AUXEIN brand of Locking Plates and Locking screws have the same indications for use as mentioned above with additional feature of locking by way of combination threads in plates and corresponding Screws.

Device Story

System consists of metallic bone plates and screws for fracture fixation; includes mini, small, and large fragment plates, DCS plates, and locking/non-locking variants. Plates feature compression and locking holes; screws include full-threaded-cortical, locking self-tapping, and compression types. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for internal fixation of bone fractures. Implants are provided non-sterile and require sterilization by the user. Device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Benefits include anatomical fracture reduction and rigid fixation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence demonstrated through bench testing only, including static and dynamic four-point bend tests for plates (ASTM F382, F384) and torsional, driving torque, and pull-out tests for screws (ASTM F543).

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system (plates and screws) made of stainless steel and titanium. Complies with ASTM F136, F138, and F139 material standards. Plate thickness 1.0mm–6.0mm; screw diameters 2.4mm–5.0mm. Features include locking and compression holes. Non-sterile; requires user sterilization. Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult patients with fractures of the clavicle, pelvis, scapula, long bones (humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, fibula), and small bones (metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges). DCS plate system indicated for proximal femur shaft, trochanteric, and pertrochanteric fractures.

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.
