Manufactured from 316 LS stainless steel. Available in various lengths (70-400 mm) and diameters (0.7-4.8 mm) with diamond or trocar tip styles. Intended for use by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provided non-sterile; requires steam sterilization by the user prior to implantation. Mechanical device; no electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Material: 316 LS stainless steel. Form factor: Shank and threaded wires/pins. Dimensions: 0.7-4.8 mm diameter; 70-400 mm length. Tip styles: Diamond, trocar. Sterilization: Steam (vacuum cycle, 132-135°C for 6 minutes). ## 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. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
