Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons in conjunction with the STORM™ system for fracture reduction and fixation of the lower leg or distal femur. Components are provided sterile to facilitate surgical procedures. The kit provides the necessary mechanical fasteners and preparation tools to stabilize bone fractures, aiding in patient recovery. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and mechanical performance testing. ## Technological Characteristics Components manufactured from stainless steel. Kit includes Kirschner wires, self-threading bone screws, and a drill bit. Provided sterile. Mechanical fixation system. ## 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 - STORM™ Operating Kit ([K061607](/device/K061607.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
