## Intended Use

Smith & Nephew's Patient Matched Cutting Blocks are intended to be used as patient-specific surgical instrumentation to assist in the positioning of total knee replacement components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting. The Patient Matched Cutting Blocks are intended for use with existing Smith & Nephew, Inc. knee systems and their cleared indications for use. The Patient Matched Cutting Blocks are intended for single use only.

## Device Story

Patient-specific surgical instrumentation; manufactured from patient imaging data (MRI, CT, X-Ray). Used intra-operatively by surgeons to assist in positioning total knee replacement components and guiding bone marking prior to cutting. Single-use device; functions as a physical guide to improve surgical accuracy during knee arthroplasty. Benefits include improved alignment and placement of knee implants based on patient anatomy.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Patient-specific cutting blocks manufactured from patient imaging data (MRI, CT, X-Ray). Single-use, non-implantable surgical instrumentation. Designed for compatibility with existing Smith & Nephew knee systems.

## Regulatory Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
