The Endotine device is specifically intended for use to fixate the sub-dermis to the cranial bone in browplasty procedures. ## Device Story Endotine Device is a bioabsorbable fixation implant for browplasty procedures; fabricated from L-PLA. Device features a post for insertion into cranial bone and barbs on the face for direct sub-dermis fixation without sutures. Used by surgeons in clinical settings; inserted using specialized installation instruments including a stepped drill. Eliminates need for suture-based fixation used in predicate devices. Provides mechanical stability for tissue during healing; benefits patient by simplifying surgical technique and reducing reliance on traditional suturing methods. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of in-vitro bench testing comparing shear strength to the predicate device and animal testing to confirm functional adequacy and tissue-device interface performance. ## Technological Characteristics Bioabsorbable fixation device fabricated from L-PLA. Features a post for cranial bone insertion and barbs for sub-dermis fixation. Includes dedicated installation instruments (stepped drill, tray). Non-electronic, mechanical device. ## 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 - Bionx Endobrow Screw ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

SUBMITTER: Coapt Systems, Inc 261 Hamilton Avenue Suite 413 Palo Alto, CA 94301 Telephone: 650-289-1010 Contact: Jude Paganelli, Vice President Operations Date Prepared: December 10, 2001 #### 2. DEVICE: Endotine Device Classification Name: Bioabsorbable Fixation Device Trade Name: Coapt Systems Endotine Device #### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE: The predicate device used to determine substantial equivalence for the Endotine Device was the Bionx Endobrow Screw marketed by Bionx Implants, Blue Bell, PA #### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The Endotine Device is a device fabricated from L-PLA that is intended for use in browplasty procedures. The device is molded with a post that is inserted directly into the cranial bone. A series of barbs along its face provides a feature that allows for the direct fixation the sub-dermis without the use of suture. The device is inserted into the bone with the use of an installation instrument. Additional instruments include a stepped drill and sterilization tray. ### 5. INTENDED USE: The Endotine Device is intended for use in browplasty surgery. The Endotine device is specifically intended for use to fixate the sub-dermis to the cranial bone in browplasty procedures. {1}------------------------------------------------ page 20f2 ## 6. COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS: The Endotine Device is fabricated from L-PLA, while the Bionx Endobrow Screw is fabricated from L/DL-PLA. The Endotine device design provides direct fixation to the sub-dermis. The Bionx Endobrow Screw provides fixation to the device through the use of suture that is affixed to the sub-dermis. The indications for use of the two devices are identical. #### 7. PERFORMANCE DATA: The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination: - 1. Bench Testing: Comparison of the shear strength of the Endotine Device In-Vitro compared to the predicate device. - 2. Animal Testing: The testing demonstrated the acceptability of the Endotine Device and confirmed that the device functions adequately to meet its intended use. - 3. Tissue Interface: Comparison of the device to tissue interface of the Endotine Device to the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
