## Intended Use

The Osteo BOS" System in Stainless Steel components are intended for long and small bone fracture fixation.

## Device Story

The Osteo BOS System consists of stainless steel bone plates used for fracture fixation of long and small bones. The system includes various plate configurations, including wide, narrow, and one-third tubular plates. These components are intended for surgical use by clinicians to stabilize bone fractures. The device functions as a mechanical fixation system to support bone healing.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Manufactured from ASTM F-138-92 stainless steel. System includes wide, narrow, and one-third tubular plates in various dimensions (2.7mm to 6.5mm). Mechanical fixation device.

## 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 bone plates (unspecified 510(k))
