System includes implant and associated surgical instruments for site preparation and delivery. Available in small, medium, and large sizes. Used by surgeons in clinical settings during hammertoe, claw toe, or mallet toe correction procedures. Implant provides mechanical stability to bone segments post-osteotomy to facilitate reconstruction. Benefit is secure fixation of lesser toe deformities. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including pull-out, torque, static, and dynamic bending tests compared to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Material: PEEK. Form factor: Threaded bone fixation fastener in small, medium, and large sizes. Principle: Mechanical bone fixation via threaded implant. Sterilization: Sterile. Connectivity: None. Software: None. ## 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 - PRO-TOET™ VO Hammertoe Implant System ([K120645](/device/K120645.md)) - Intraosseous Fixation System ([K120165](/device/K120165.md)) - Kirschner Wires ([K073674](/device/K073674.md)) - ActivaPin™ Pin ([K061164](/device/K061164.md)) - Subtalar Implant ([K071498](/device/K071498.md)) - Healix ADVANCE™ PEEK Anchor ([K120449](/device/K120449.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

threaded PEEK implant and a set of instruments used for implant site
preparation and delivery. The device is offered in small, medium and large
implant sizes to allow for use in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of
the lesser toes of the foot. | | Indications for use | The HammerFiX device is indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and
reconstruction of the lesser toes following correction procedures for
hammertoe, claw toe and mallet toe. | | Statement of
Technological
Comparison | The HammerFiX device and predicate devices are equivalent in terms of
indications for use, design, and material mechanical properties. | | Non-clinical Testing | Bench testing, including pull-out, torque, static and dynamic bending were
performed and compared to the predicate device. | | Clinical Testing | No clinical testing was performed. | | Conclusion | The HammerFiX device is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
This conclusion is based upon indications for use, principles of operation,
design, and mechanical test data. | {1}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
