Intended Use

The Forma Medical Optimal Plating System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses, and bone reconstructions in adult patients with normal or osteopenic bone. Indications include flat (scapula), long (clavicle, upper and lower extremities including metacarpals, and phalanges), irregular (pelvis, hand, foot) bones and joints (wrist, ankle). The Forma Medical Optimal Plating System is not indicated for ribs, sternum, spine, or the skull.

Device Story

Forma Medical Optimal Plating System provides internal bone fixation for fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. System comprises various plates and screws in multiple sizes/shapes to accommodate patient anatomy; implants may be straight or contoured. Screws are locking or non-locking. Implants are manufactured from titanium, titanium alloy, cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy, or stainless steel. System includes associated surgical instrumentation. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone fragments; output is physical fixation of bone. Benefits include restoration of bone stability and support for healing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical evaluation included torsional strength, insertion/removal torque, pullout strength, and four-point bending to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium, titanium alloy, cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy, stainless steel (ASTM F67, F136, F1295, F1472, F1537, F2229, F138, F139). Components: Plates (straight, contourable, pre-shaped) and screws (locking, non-locking). Dimensions: Plates 23-153mm; screws 6-85mm. Single-use. Mechanical testing per ASTM F543 (screws) and ASTM F382 (plates).

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses, and bone reconstructions in adult patients with normal or osteopenic bone. Applicable to flat (scapula), long (clavicle, upper/lower extremities, metacarpals, phalanges), and irregular (pelvis, hand, foot) bones and joints (wrist, ankle). Contraindicated for ribs, sternum, spine, and skull.

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.
