Screws are self-tapping, self-drilling, with cortico/cancellous or cancellous threads; available in various lengths/diameters. K-wires are threaded, spaded, or blunt, ranging 0.8mm-1.4mm diameter and 150mm length. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for bone fracture stabilization and osteotomy fixation. K-wires serve as guides for screw placement. Device provides mechanical fixation to facilitate bone healing. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Stainless steel (screws), 316L stainless steel (K-wires). Design: Cannulated, self-tapping, self-drilling screws; threaded/spaded/blunt K-wires. Dimensions: K-wires 0.8mm-1.4mm diameter, 150mm length. Mechanical fixation principle. ## 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 - Internal Fixation Systems, Inc.
