Used in cranio/maxillofacial surgical procedures; operated by surgeons. Device functions as a mechanical anchor; provides fixation for tendons, ligaments, muscles, and soft tissue flaps to skull bones. Benefits include stable reattachment of soft tissue to bone during repair and reconstruction. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated via pull-out force testing using preserved human cadaver skulls to compare the strength of the TALON™ Anchor Snap-Pak against the predicate Mitek Micro Anchor. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile bone fixation implant; mechanical anchor design for suture fixation; intended for use in pre-drilled bone sites. Materials and sterilization methods are consistent with predicate Mitek anchors. ## Regulatory Identification An intraosseous fixation screw or wire is a metal device intended to be inserted into fractured jaw bone segments to prevent their movement. ## Predicate Devices - Mitek LS Anchor ([K931782](/device/K931782.md)) - Mitek Micro Anchor ([K962511](/device/K962511.md)) - Mitek Micro Anchor ([K982420](/device/K982420.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
