- **Attributes:** Therapeutic

## Intended Use

Futura Biomedical Classic Great Toe Implant is indicated for: - Hallux limitus or hallux rigidus - Painful rheumatoid arthritis - Hallux abducto valgus associated with arthritis - Unstable or painful joint from previous surgery

## Device Story

Classic Great Toe Implant is a double-stemmed silicone prosthesis; functions as a dynamic joint spacer for first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty. Implanted surgically by placing stems into the intramedullary canal of the resected first metatarsal head and base of the proximal phalanx. Device provides mechanical support and joint stabilization; intended for long-term implantation (>30 days). Benefits include pain relief and restoration of joint function for patients with degenerative or post-surgical joint conditions. Device is a size-expanded version of the predicate, adding a larger size (size 60) to the existing range (20, 30, 40, 50).

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and intended use similarities to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Double-stemmed silicone prosthesis; constrained design; intramedullary fixation; five sizes (20, 30, 40, 50, 60); single-use; sterile.

## Regulatory Identification

A toe joint polymer constrained prosthesis is a device made of silicone elastomer or polyester reinforced silicone elastomer intended to be implanted to replace the first metatarsophalangeal (big toe) joint. This generic type of device consists of a single flexible across-the-joint component that prevents dislocation in more than one anatomic plane.

Dear Ms. Focht:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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.
