Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize fractures or osteotomies. Provides mechanical stabilization during bone healing; material is absorbable. Device is supplied sterile in blister packs with disposable instruments. No electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material identity to predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Material: poly-L/D-lactide copolymer. Dimensions: 1.5mm diameter; 16, 18, 20, 25mm lengths. Mechanical fixation principle. Sterile, single-use, disposable. No software or electronic components. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - SmartNail ([K993074](/device/K993074.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
