Intended Use

The CrossFT™ Knotless Suture Anchor with Disposable Driver is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures. The device may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the sutured to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriative immobilization, throughout the healing period.

Device Story

Sterile, single-use knotless suture anchor system; used in arthroscopic or open orthopedic surgery to reattach soft tissue to bone. Device consists of PEEK anchor preloaded on disposable driver. Surgeon inserts anchor into bone; suture/tape limbs are tensioned and secured to stabilize soft tissue during healing. System includes bone punch, tap, and drill bit. Provides mechanical fixation of ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules. Benefits include stabilization of damaged tissue to facilitate healing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Performance testing included reliability, ultimate fixation strength, cyclic testing, biocompatibility, pyrogenicity, sterilization, shelf-life, and user validation. Bacterial endotoxin testing met established limits.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK. Dimensions: 4.0 mm, 4.75 mm, 5.5 mm widths. Components: Suture anchor, disposable driver (two-piece handle/grip), bone punch, bone tap, drill bit. Features: Suture cleats for tensioning, threader for suture/tape loading. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO). Single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for reattachment of soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, joint capsules) to bone in arthroscopic or open orthopedic surgical procedures. Contraindicated for patients with bone or soft tissue pathologies affecting fixation, conditions limiting activity restriction/compliance, foreign body sensitivity, or attachment of artificial ligaments/implants. Not cleared for screw fixation to posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

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.
