Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients > 12 years of age requiring fracture fixation, joint fusion, bone reconstruction, osteotomy, pseudoarthrosis repair, or ligament fixation in the upper (glenoid, humerus, ulna, radius, hand) or lower (tibia, fibula, patella, ankle, foot) extremities.

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.
