Plates feature variable angle locking screw holes in the head and shaft, plus elongated variable angle combination holes in the shaft. Designed to minimize soft tissue irritation via rounded edges and polished surfaces. Includes 6- and 7-hole head configurations with additional contourable wing tabs for enhanced fragment capture. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize distal radius fractures and other small bone injuries. Operates via variable angle locking technology, allowing flexible screw placement to improve fracture reduction. Output is a stabilized bone construct. Benefits include improved fragment capture and reduced soft tissue irritation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Fatigue strength and mechanical performance were assessed using finite element analysis to determine worst-case constructs and dynamic loading testing to confirm equivalence to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Metallic bone fixation plates; materials include stainless steel and commercially pure titanium. Features variable angle locking technology, low-profile contoured design, rounded edges, and polished surfaces. Includes 6- and 7-hole head configurations with contourable wing tabs. Compatible with 2.4mm variable angle locking screws, 2.4mm cortex screws, and 2.7mm cortex screws. ## 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 2.4 LCP Volar Column Distal Radius Plating System ([K102694](/device/K102694.md)) - Synthes Volar Distal Radius Plate ([K953644](/device/K953644.md)) - Synthes Variable Angle Locking Compression Plate ([K071184](/device/K071184.md)) - Synthes Locking Distal Radius Plating System ([K102694](/device/K102694.md)) - Synthes Stainless Steel Modular Hand System ([K030310](/device/K030310.md)) - Synthes Small Titanium Wrist Fusion Plate ([K023987](/device/K023987.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
