Intended Use

The Stealth Fusion System and its accessory components are intended to be used on adults or pediatric patients as required and are intended to be used for ankle and foot joints fusion; to stabilize fractures of foot bones; (open and closed); post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion; fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion and fractures requiring distraction; pseudoarthrosis or non-union of foot bones; correction of bony or soft tissue deformity; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue foot defects; joint arthrodesis; and management of comminuted intra-articular foot bone fractures.

Device Story

External bone fixation system; consists of bone anchorage elements, bridge elements, and connection elements. Allows flexible pin placement, assembly, and stable fixation of bone fragments; enables axial loading of lower extremity and immediate range of motion of adjacent joints. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fracture stabilization and deformity correction. Provides mechanical support to bone segments; facilitates healing through stabilization and distraction. Benefits patients by restoring joint function and correcting skeletal abnormalities.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

External multilateral bone fixation system. Components include bone anchorage, bridge, and connection elements. Materials: medical grade stainless steel (fixator pins) and aluminum alloy (external frame). Principle of operation: mechanical stabilization of bone fragments via external fixation. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring ankle and foot joint fusion, stabilization of open/closed foot bone fractures, treatment of post-traumatic joint contracture with loss of range of motion, management of fractures/disease resulting in contractures or requiring distraction, treatment of pseudoarthrosis or non-union of foot bones, correction of bony or soft tissue deformities or segmental defects, joint arthrodesis, and management of comminuted intra-articular foot bone fractures.

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.
