Used by surgeons for soft tissue-to-bone fixation across various orthopedic and maxillofacial procedures. Device facilitates stabilization of tendons and ligaments; aids in surgical repair and reconstruction. Benefits include secure tissue attachment to bone. ## Technological Characteristics 2-piece push-in suture anchor; metallic bone fixation fastener; 2.5 mm diameter; mechanical fixation via compression. ## 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 - Tak Family Suture Anchors ([K050749](/device/K050749.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The suture anchor is designed to use the principles of compression to force the eyelet, threaded with appropriate suture, into a predrilled hole. The Arthrex PushLock™ is intended to be used for suture or tissue fixation in the foot, ankle, knee, hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and in select maxillofacial applications. ### Substantial Equivalence Summary The Arthrex PushLock™ (suture anchor) is substantially equivalent to the predicate Arthrex Tak Family in which the basic features and intended uses are the same. Any differences between the PushLock™ (suture anchor) and the predicate Tak Family are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness. Based on the information submitted, Arthrex, Inc. has determined that the new PushLock™ (suture anchor) is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device. {1}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a seal for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
