The suture subsequently used by the surgeon to reattach the repositioned/injured soft tissue to bone. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to obtain clearance for the Mitek Micro Anchor for the lateral canthoplasty repair/reconstruction of collateral ligaments, flexor and extension tendons at the PIP (Proximal Interphalangeal), DIP (Distal Interphalangeal), and MCP (Metacarpal Interphalangeal) joints for all digits. The intended use is the same as the predicate device, i.e., suture, when used to approximate soft tissue to bone during a period of rehabilitation. ## Device Story Mitek Micro Anchor is a bone fixation device (3.7mm length, 1.3mm diameter) used to anchor suture into bone for soft tissue reattachment. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings; device is implanted to secure collateral ligaments and tendons at finger joints. Input is manual insertion into bone; device transforms mechanical force into secure fixation via a Nitinol arc mechanism. Output is a stable suture anchor point. Clinical benefit includes facilitating soft tissue-to-bone approximation during rehabilitation. Device is used as an alternative to traditional bone tunnels. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing performed on cadaveric and porcine models. Average failure loads: 9.67 lbs (cadaver hand), 7.97 lbs (cadaver skull), 7.28 lbs (pig metacarpals), compared to 5.73 lbs for suture with bone tunnels. Clinical safety and effectiveness supported by historical data for identical surgical procedures under IDE #G880026. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Titanium 6Al 4V with Nitinol arc. Dimensions: 3.7mm length, 1.3mm diameter. Mechanical fixation principle. Sterilized. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Mitek GII Mini Anchor ([K915089](/device/K915089.md), [K930892](/device/K930892.md)) ## Reference Devices - USP Class I knot pull synthetic sterilized #3/0 suture ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

DEVICE DESIGN The Mitek Micro Anchor is 3 7mm in length by 1.3mm in diameter. It is manufactured from Titanium 6AI 4V and uses a Nitinol arc. It is similar in design to the The same methods Mitek GII Mini Anchor. oi manufacturing and assembly are used for the Micro Anchor as those used for manufacturing all other Mitek metal anchors. The Mitek Mini anchor design was first cleared to market by US FDA in K915089 and K930892. MATERTAT S USED The Mitek Micro Anchor delivery system consists of a Mitek Micro Anchor, a drill bit, and an Inserter. ### INTENDED USE The device is used to anchor suture into bone.
