Indications for Use

The Multitak SS Buttons are new fixation devices indicated in orthopedic fracture and in ligament and tendon repair. The buttons allow for stabilization and linear fixation of bone fragments in fracture procedures. The buttons also serve as fixation posts for distributing suture tension over areas of ligament and tendon repair. The buttons are made of titanium, polypropylene, or polyethylene and are provided sterile with or without suture attached and are not intended for reuse. Maximum suture size to be used with each of the buttons are outlined in the following table:

Device Story

Multitak SS Buttons are cylindrical fixation devices used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize bone fragments or serve as fixation posts for ligament and tendon repair. The device consists of a tubular button applied to the outer bone cortex over a pre-drilled hole. Suture is passed through the bone hole and secured to the button, providing linear fixation and compression to promote healing. The buttons are used by surgeons in clinical settings. By distributing suture tension over the fracture or repair site, the device facilitates tissue healing. The buttons are provided sterile, single-use, and are available in various sizes and materials (titanium, polypropylene, or UHMWPE).

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Cylindrical/tubular buttons; materials: Ti-6Al-4V alloy, polypropylene, and UHMWPE. Dimensions range from 1.2 mm x 4.0 mm to 3.0 mm x 10.0 mm. Provided sterile. Mechanical fixation principle via suture tension distribution.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic fracture repair and ligament/tendon repair in patients requiring bone fragment stabilization or suture tension distribution.

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.

Device Description: The Multitak SS Buttons are fixation devices indicated in orthopedic fracture and in ligament and tendon repair They are intended to stabilize two or more bone hagments and distribute suture tension over the fracture site in order to facilitate healing. The buttons also serve as fixation posts for distributing surure tension over areas of ligament and renden repair The cyundneal buttons are made from titanium, polypropylene, or polyethylene and have an overali ratio of approximately 3 1, length to diameter. The buttons are available in the tollowing sizes ( ! ) ! 2 mm in diameter and 4 0 mm in length, (2) 1 8 mm in diameter and o 0 mm in length (3) 2 5 mm in diameter and 8 3 mm in length, and (4) 3 0 mm in diameter and I min in lengin The buttons are applied to the outer bone cortex over a prednilled hole across the manufe she Bone fragments are stabilized with suture running through the drill bone hole and off at the button The buttons provide linear fixation and compression of the bone trapments promoting healing at the fracture site Buttons can also be used as fixation posts and are praced outside the corucal bone in ligament and tendon repair. They provide a means of distributing suture tension over areas of repaired ligaments and tendons. The buttons are provided sterile with or without attached suture in packs of two and are not intended for reuse.
