Intended Use

The Anatomical Bankart Tack™ is intended for use to maintain the proximity between soft tissue and bone to facilitate soft tissue reattachment in the repair of shoulder injuries. The Anatomical Bankart Tack™ will be specifically indicated for use to provide internal fixation of soft tissue to bone for repair of anterior shoulder instability by reattachment of the glenoid labrum and/or inferior glenohumeral ligament in patients with primary or reoccurrent anterior dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder (i.e., Bankart lesions).

Device Story

Absorbable fixation device for shoulder surgery; maintains proximity between soft tissue and bone to facilitate reattachment. Used in repair of anterior shoulder instability (Bankart lesions). Device is 20mm long, 3.5mm diameter; composed of 100% poly-L-lactide (PLLA) polymer. Implanted by surgeons during shoulder repair procedures to secure glenoid labrum or inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Provides internal fixation to stabilize joint and prevent recurrent dislocation or subluxation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 100% poly-L-lactide (PLLA) polymer. Dimensions: 20mm length, 3.5mm diameter. Form factor: Absorbable soft tissue fixation fastener.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with primary or recurrent anterior shoulder instability, including dislocation or subluxation (Bankart lesions), requiring internal fixation of soft tissue to bone for reattachment of the glenoid labrum and/or inferior glenohumeral ligaments.

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.
