Intended Use

The SMV Scientific 2.0mm and 2.4mm Bone Screws are intended for use in trauma procedures, reconstructive procedures, and general surgery of the hand, wrist, and other small bones and bone fragments in adults and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by screw fixation. The SMV Scientific 2.7mm Bone Screw is intended for fractures and osteotomies of small bones and bone fragments, including the foot, ankle, and hand in adults and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by screw fixation. The SMV Scientific 3.5mm and 4.0mm Bone Screws are intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, calcaneus, femur and fibula in adults and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by screw fixation. The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screw is intended for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur and tibia. It is also for use in fixation of non-unions or malunions in adults and in both children (2-12 years) and adolescents (12-21 years) in which growth plates have fused or in which growth plates will not be crossed by screw fixation.

Device Story

SMV Scientific Bone Screws are cortical bone fixation fasteners used in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive surgery. Available in diameters ranging from 2.0mm to 4.5mm, these stainless steel screws provide mechanical stabilization for fractures, osteotomies, non-unions, and malunions. Operated by surgeons in clinical or OR settings, the screws are implanted to secure bone fragments or long bones. The device functions via mechanical fixation; it does not involve electronic or software-based processing. By providing rigid internal fixation, the screws facilitate bone healing and structural alignment, benefiting patients by restoring skeletal integrity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via static torsion, driving torque, pullout testing, and removal torque per ASTM F543 standards. Results demonstrate mechanical strength sufficient for intended use and equivalent to predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Cortical bone screws manufactured from stainless steel conforming to ASTM F138. Mechanical fixation principle. Available in various lengths and diameters (2.0mm-4.5mm). Provided sterile and non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for trauma, reconstructive, and general surgery of small bones/fragments (hand, wrist, foot, ankle) and long bones (clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, tibia, calcaneus, femur, fibula) in adults, children (2-12), and adolescents (12-21). Contraindicated if growth plates are not fused or if fixation crosses growth plates.

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.
