Intended Use

The Medical Facet Bone Fixation Screws and Pins are intended to be used as fixation implants for bone fractures, joint fusion, bone reconstruction, or as guide pins for insertion of other implantable devices.

Device Story

Medical Facets Bone Fixation Screws and Pins are orthopedic implants used for bone fracture fixation, joint fusion, bone reconstruction, or as guide pins for other devices. The product line includes cortical screws, cancellous screws, headless compression screws, external fixation screws, Kirschner wires, guide wires, and Steinmann pins. Devices are manufactured from stainless steel, titanium, or cobalt. They are available in various diameters (1.0mm to 7.3mm) and lengths (6mm to 450mm), with solid or cannulated configurations. These devices are used by surgeons in clinical or surgical settings to stabilize bone segments. The implants provide mechanical fixation to facilitate healing or support reconstruction. Performance is verified through mechanical testing against established ASTM standards.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical testing performed on worst-case configurations according to ASTM F543, ASTM F1264, ASTM F2193, and ASTM F1541. Results demonstrated substantial performance equivalence to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel, titanium, cobalt (guide wires only). Configurations: Solid or cannulated. Dimensions: Diameters 1.0mm-7.3mm; lengths 6mm-450mm. Standards: ASTM F543 (bone screws), ASTM F1264 (intramedullary fixation), ASTM F2193 (spinal fixation components), ASTM F1541 (external skeletal fixation).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring bone fracture fixation, joint fusion, bone reconstruction, or as guide pins for the insertion of other implantable devices.

Regulatory Classification

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.
