Device Story

LactoScrew Suture Anchors are molded, resorbable fasteners used to reattach soft tissue to bone. Composed of LactoSorb copolymer (85% PLLA/15% PGA); pre-loaded with one or two sutures. Used by surgeons in orthopedic procedures (shoulder, wrist/hand, ankle/foot, elbow, knee). Device functions as a mechanical anchor to secure tissue during healing; material resorbs over time. Benefits include stable tissue fixation without permanent hardware.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Resorbable suture anchor; material: LactoSorb copolymer (85% PLLA/15% PGA); sizes: 2.8mm and 3.5mm; pre-loaded with sutures; mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue reattachment to bone in shoulder, wrist/hand, ankle/foot, elbow, and knee procedures, including ligament, tendon, and capsule repairs/reconstructions.

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.

Dear Ms. Alexander:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
