The plates are available in lengths ranging from 48 mm to 192 mm and are designed to be contoured using bending irons to fit the patient's anatomy. The device is provided sterile. It is intended for use by surgeons in a clinical or surgical setting to stabilize bone fractures, facilitating healing through internal fixation. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Stainless steel. Form factor: Reconstruction plates, 2.7 mm thickness, lengths 48 mm to 192 mm. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Mechanical: Contoured via bending irons. ## 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 2.7 mm Reconstruction Plates ([K974908](/device/K974908.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
