Intended Use

CARE BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System, CARE Brand of DHS/DCS Plating System are provided non-sterile. CARE BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System are indicated 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). CARE Brand of DHS/DCS Plating System is used to provide fixation of fractures to the proximal femur shaft and generally indicated for use in trochanteric, intertrochanteric fractures. The system is indicated for use in adult patients only. All implants are for single use only.

Device Story

System of metallic bone plates and screws for fracture fixation/osteosynthesis. Components include locking/non-locking plates (DHS/DCS, large/small/mini fragment) and screws (cortical, locking, compression). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fracture stabilization. Implants are non-sterile and require sterilization before use. Device provides mechanical support to bone fragments to facilitate healing. Benefits include anatomical fracture reduction and rigid fixation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing only, including material compliance (ASTM F136, F138, F139) and mechanical performance testing (ASTM F382, F384, F543) for static/dynamic bending, torsional properties, driving torque, and pull-out strength.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel (ASTM F138, F139) and Titanium alloy (ASTM F136). Components: Bone plates (DHS/DCS, fragment plates) and screws (locking/non-locking, cortical). Mechanical fixation via screw-plate interface. Supplied non-sterile; requires sterilization. Dimensions: 2-22 holes; screw diameters 2.4mm-5.0mm; lengths 6mm-120mm.

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). DHS/DCS system indicated for proximal femur shaft, trochanteric, and intertrochanteric fractures. Not indicated for use in the spine.

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.
