## Device Story

Arthrex Corkscrew FT II Suture Anchor; 5.5 x 16mm fully threaded nondegradable screw; configured with suture or suture and needles. Used by surgeons for fixation of suture to bone during orthopedic procedures (shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, hand/wrist, elbow) and pelvic floor reconstruction. Device provides mechanical anchor point in bone to secure soft tissue; facilitates tendon/ligament reattachment and stabilization. Clinical benefit: restoration of anatomical structure and function via secure tissue-to-bone fixation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and intended use similarities to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

5.5 x 16mm fully threaded nondegradable metallic bone fixation fastener. Device is a screw-type anchor for soft tissue fixation. 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.
