• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is implanted for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstructions.

Device Story

The UNI-CLIP® STAPLE is a bone fixation device designed to provide controlled, adjustable compression across a fracture or osteotomy site. The device features a geometry that allows for clinical deformation, resulting in narrowing of the staple bridge to achieve compression. It is intended for use by surgeons in orthopedic procedures involving the hand or foot. By providing stable fixation and compression, the device facilitates bone healing and reconstruction. The staple is available in multiple sizes to accommodate various anatomical requirements.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing evaluated torque of divergence and strength of compression, confirming performance is equivalent to predicate devices. Resistance to torsion was verified to be in compliance with selected standards.

Technological Characteristics

Bone fixation staple constructed from stainless steel. Operates via mechanical deformation of the staple bridge to induce controlled compression. Dimensions vary by size. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of bone fractures or bone reconstruction in the hand or foot, including arthrodesis, mono or bi-cortical osteotomies, fracture management, distal or proximal metatarsal or metacarpal osteotomies, and fixation of osteotomies for Hallux Valgus treatment (e.g., Scarf, Chevron).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
