Used in arthroscopic surgery for fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions (bucket-handle tears) in vascularized zones. Device functions as a mechanical fastener to stabilize meniscal tissue during healing. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in an arthroscopic setting. Provides secure fixation of meniscal tissue, potentially improving healing outcomes for patients with specific meniscal tears. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance data provided includes strength comparison testing against the Mitek "H" Fix and suture comparison testing against PDS Suture. ## Technological Characteristics Biodegradable fastener system composed of molded PLA (polylactic acid). Two-part design consisting of a Backstop and Tophat. Sterile, single-use device for arthroscopic fixation. ## 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 "H" Fix ([K970119](/device/K970119.md)) - PDS Absorbable Suture (NDA#18-331) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
