Device Story

BioRC Anchor is a cannulated, threaded, sterile, single-use fixation device; composed of bioabsorbable Poly(L-lactide acid). Preloaded on a disposable driver for insertion into bone during arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. Used by surgeons to attach soft tissue to bone; facilitates repair of ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules. Benefits include secure fixation during healing, followed by bioabsorption of the device. No complex electronics or software involved.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Poly(L-lactic acid). Form factor: 6mm x 22mm threaded, cannulated device. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue-to-bone fixation in shoulder, foot, ankle, elbow, wrist, hand, and knee procedures, and bladder neck suspension for female urinary incontinence due to urethral hypermobility.

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.
