Device features 11 or 13 screw holes for 3.5mm cortical screw fixation. Design is universal for left or right foot application; available in small, large, and extra-large sizes. Plate is slightly malleable for anatomical contouring and can be cut intraoperatively by the surgeon to achieve optimal fit. Used in orthopedic surgery for bone fixation; provides structural support to stabilize fractures or osteotomy sites during healing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Material: 316 LVM stainless steel. Design: Open structure with central cross-strut; 11 or 13 screw holes for 3.5mm cortical screws. Form factor: Universal left/right design; three sizes (small, large, extra-large). Malleable for anatomical contouring; cuttable intraoperatively. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes Calcaneal Plate ([K991407](/device/K991407.md), [K010518](/device/K010518.md), [K020401](/device/K020401.md)) - Kirschner Small Fragment Fixation System ([K864924](/device/K864924.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Description: The Biomet Calcaneal Plate is an open structure bone plate with a cross-strut in the center manufactured from 316 LVM Stainless Steel. The device has 11 or 13 screw holes, depending on plate size, to ensure bone purchase of screws. The devices is slightly malleable, to conform to each patient's anatomy at the time of surgery. The device can also be cut in the operating room it achieve better fit. The device is universal in design and therefore may be used on either the right or left foot. Three sizes are available, small, large and extra-large. A series of 3.5mm cortical screws are used in conjunction with the device. Intended Use: 1) Intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus 2) Extra-articular fractures of the calcaneus and 3) Osteotomies of the calcaneus. Summary of Technologies: The materials, surface finishes and processing of the device are similar to the predicate devices. Non-Clinical and Clinical Testing: None provided MAHING ADDRESS P.O.
