Simplex™ P bone cement will be indicated for fixation of prostheses to living bone during orthopaedic musculoskeletal procedures for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, collagen disease, severe joint destruction secondary to trauma or other conditions, or revision of a previous Simplex™ P bone cement is also indicated for the fixation of arthroplasty. pathological fractures where loss of bone substance or recalcitrance of the fracture renders more conventional procedures ineffective.
Device Story
Simplex™ P Bone Cement is a radiopaque PMMA-based bone cement used for the fixation of prostheses to living bone. The device consists of a sterile polymeric powder and a sterile liquid monomer, which are mixed to form the cement. It is applied by a surgeon during orthopaedic procedures using digital application or a syringe. The cement hardens in situ to provide mechanical fixation between the prosthesis and the bone. It is intended for single-use in clinical settings. By stabilizing the prosthesis, the cement facilitates joint reconstruction and addresses bone loss or fracture recalcitrance, aiming to restore joint function and reduce pain for the patient.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on identical formulation to the previously approved PMA device.
Technological Characteristics
Radiopaque PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) bone cement. Supplied as a two-component system: sterile polymeric powder and sterile liquid monomer. Applied via manual digital application or syringe. Single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing orthopaedic musculoskeletal procedures requiring prosthesis fixation due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, collagen disease, severe joint destruction, or pathological fractures where conventional procedures are ineffective.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.”
