## Device Story

PRO Fixation System is a sterile, single-use orthopedic device for reattaching soft tissue to bone. System consists of an implantable non-absorbable anchor and a disposable inserter. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate anchor placement, suture tensioning, and fixation of soft tissue. Device provides mechanical stability for various orthopedic repairs in shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, elbow, and hand/wrist. Benefits include secure tissue-to-bone fixation, aiding in healing and structural reconstruction.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing evaluated biocompatibility, pull-out strength, suture tensile strength, suture slip resistance, and anchor/driver integrity to verify performance requirements.

## Technological Characteristics

Non-absorbable suture anchor and disposable inserter. Sterile, single-use. Mechanical fixation principle. Materials and design are comparable to predicate suture anchors.

## 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.
