Intended Use
The ANCHORLOK™ II Soft Tissue Anchor System is indicated for the following: - repair of shoulder instability secondary to Bankart lesion, rotator cuff tear, a SLAP lesion, acromioclavicular separation, biceps tenodesis, deltoid tear/separation, or capsular shift or capsulolabral reconstruction; - repair of elbow instability secondary to biceps tendon detachment, tennis elbow, or ulnar or radial collateral ligament tear/separation; - repair of hand/wrist instability secondary to tear or separation of the scapholunate ligament, ulnar collateral ligament, or radial collateral ligament; - repair of knee instability secondary to tear or separation of the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, patellar tendon, or posterior oblique ligament, or secondary to iliotibial band tenodesis; - repair of foot/ankle instability secondary to foot/ankle instability secondary to tear or separation of the Achilles tendon, lateral stabilization tendons/ligaments, medial stabilization tendons/ligaments, midfoot tendons/ligaments, or metatarsal tendons/ligaments
Device Story
Single-use sterile kit; includes titanium alloy bone anchor, disposable wire leader, and protective sleeve. Surgeon-operated in clinical/surgical settings. Device provides mechanical fixation for soft tissue-to-bone repair; surgeon threads preferred suture through anchor. Facilitates stabilization of ligaments and tendons across multiple joints; aids healing by securing tissue to bone.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. 7.5mm and 2.5mm anchors tested per Draft Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchor Devices (April 1, 1993). Results indicate performance meets or exceeds in vivo performance of predicate 5.0mm anchor and USP standards for Nylon™ monofilament sutures.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium alloy bone anchor; disposable wire leader; disposable protective sleeve. Single-use, sterile. Mechanical fixation device. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for repair of soft tissue instability in shoulder, elbow, hand/wrist, knee, and foot/ankle, including ligament/tendon tears, separations, and reconstructions.
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.
