## Intended Use

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System/ OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implant is indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, and bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g. rigid fixation implants, cast, brace).

## Device Story

OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System consists of degradable PLDLA polymer reinforced with continuous mineral fibers; designed for hammertoe fixation. Implant features ribbed design for insertion between proximal and middle phalanges; fixates within phalangeal canal. Supplied sterile in a kit with drill bit and k-wire; pre-mounted on inserter. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for bone fixation; degrades via hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids and minerals over ~18 months; eliminates need for hardware removal. Load transfers to surrounding anatomy during healing. Mechanical performance verified via flexural, shear, and pull-out testing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Included mechanical testing (flexural, shear, pull-out) performed initially and after in vitro degradation over 12 weeks. Biocompatibility established via material identity to predicate and additional cytotoxicity/pyrogenicity testing. Stainless steel instruments tested for corrosion resistance.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: PLDLA reinforced with continuous mineral fibers. Design: Ribbed implant, straight or 10-degree variations, 16-21 mm length, 2.5-3.2 mm diameter. Principle: Degradable bone fixation fastener. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO). Connectivity: None.

## Regulatory Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

#### Device Description

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Systems\OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implants include implants that have a ribbed design that is inserted between the proximal and middle phalanges, so the ribs fixate on the phalangeal canal of the toe. The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe fixation implants are made of OSSIOfiber " material which is degradable poly (L-lactide-co-D.L-lactide) (PLDLA) reinforced with continuous mineral fibers. The polymer content degrades by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the fibers are made from minerals that are found in natural bone. As the OSSIOfiber™ implants degrade, the load transfers to the surrounding anatomy throughout the healing period of the osteotomy, fusion, or fracture. Substantial degradation takes place within approximately 18 months as shown in pre-clinical studies, thus eliminating the requirement for future hardware removal surgery.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implants are supplied sterile, pre-mounted on an implant inserter, offered in straight and 10-degree variations, and are available in several sizes: 16-21 mm long and 2.5-3.2 mm nominal diameter.

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System is a sterile kit which includes in addition to the implant pre-mounted on an inserter, a drill bit and a k-wire which are the instrumentations required for the procedure.

## Indications for Use

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System\OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implant is indicated for maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and bone grafts in the presence of appropriate additional immobilization (e.g. rigid fixation implants, cast, brace).

## Summary of Technological Characteristics

The OSSIOfiber 10 Hammertoe Fixation System has the same intended use, indications for use and material composition, and very similar design characteristic and principles of operation as the predicate device OSSIO™ Pin Product Family (K181180). The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System's biocomposite material as well as the manufacturing techniques are the same as that of the cleared predicate. Both the device and the predicate are supplied sterile and are sterilized by EtC. Although there are differences in regards to shape and size as compared to the predicate, mechanical testing demonstrated at least equivalent performance both initially and after in vitro degradation. Any differences between OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System and its predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

#### Performance Data

Mechanical testing of flexural bending, shear and pull-out was performed to verify the strength and fixation properties of the OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System, and to compare them to those of the predicate device. Testing was conducted initially and after in vitro degradation.

In vitro decradation testing was carried out to determine the degradation profile (i.e., change in material and mechanical properties) and verify the sufficiency of the mechanical stability over the 12week healing period. Testing included weight loss, decrease in molecular weight, flexural strength testing, shear strength testing, and pullout testing over 12 weeks.

Material biocompatibility for the implants and instruments was primarily established by use of material identical to the predicate or use of well-established material. Additional testing of cytotoxicity and pyrogenicity (LAL) testing was performed on final, finished products. A rationale was provided to support the MR safe labeling of the device.

Stainless steel instruments were tested for resistance to corrosion and met the relevant acceptance criteria.

{5}------------------------------------------------

# Conclusions

The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System and OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implant is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, OSSIO™ Pin Product Family (K181180). The OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation Implant has the same intended uses, indications of use and material composition and similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences do not alter the intended surgical use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Non-clinical testing data demonstrate that the OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Thus, the OSSIOfiber™ Hammertoe Fixation System is substantially equivalent.
