Surgeon inserts implants and applies tension to ZipLoop™ constructs to achieve desired bone alignment and stabilization. Used in surgical settings; intended for single use. Provides mechanical fixation to aid bone healing; benefits patient by maintaining sternal stability post-procedure. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, specifically cyclic fatigue testing comparing fixation strength to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics System includes clips and ZipLoop™ constructs with single-use insertion instruments. Materials and design are similar to predicate bone fixation cerclage devices. Mechanical fixation principle; single-use; non-sterile status not specified but implied single-use disposable. ## Regulatory Identification A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures. ## Predicate Devices - Ethi-Pack Surgical Stainless Steel Suture ([K931271](/device/K931271.md), [K946173](/device/K946173.md)) - Stony Brook Sterna-wire / Sterna-Band™ ([K930015](/device/K930015.md), [K013059](/device/K013059.md)) - SternaLock™ Rigid Sternal System / Lorenz Sternal Closure System ([K011076](/device/K011076.md), [K063506](/device/K063506.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The efficacy of the Biomet Sports Medicine Sternal Closure System was compared to that of the Ethicon Surgical Stainless Steel Sutures. The test results indicate that the Biomet Sports Medicine Sternal Closure System provide equivalent cyclic fatigue strength to the predicate devices and would be functional within their intended use. ### Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. .
