Biocryl Interference Screws The Biocryl Interference Screw is indicated for the fixation of soft tissue grafts gr bone-tendon-bone grafts during cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries of the knee. ## Device Story Absorbable orthopedic implants used for graft fixation in ACL reconstruction; includes cross pin kits, tibial tapered sheaths/screws, and interference screws. Implants manufactured from Biocryl (15% beta-TCP/85% PLA composite). Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure grafts to femur or tibia. Implants are sterile, single-use; associated with reusable stainless steel instrumentation (guides, trocars, rods) for placement. Provides mechanical fixation of grafts to bone to facilitate healing. Submission supports 3-year shelf life based on 36-month stability study. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by identical indications, materials, and design to predicates, with performance and safety data previously established in predicate 510(k) submissions. ## Technological Characteristics Absorbable implants composed of 15% beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and 85% polylactic acid (PLA) polymer. Includes cannulated, threaded fasteners and cross pins. Reusable instrumentation (guides, trocars) made of stainless steel. Sterile, single-patient use implants; non-sterile, reusable instruments. No software or electronic components. ## 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 - BioIntrafix Tibial Tapered Sheaths and Screws ([K032167](/device/K032167.md)) - RigidFix Biocryl Cross Pin Kits ([K090669](/device/K090669.md)) - Biocryl Interference Screws ([K013572](/device/K013572.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
