The bone anchors are provided sterile and are intended for single use with suture up to USP Size No. 2. Multitak SS™ bone anchors are indicated for use in the following orthopedic soft tissue to bone fixation applications: Shoulder: Bankart lesion repairs S.L.A.P. lesions repairs Acromio-clavicular repairs Capsular shift/capsulolabral reconstruction Deltoid repairs Rotator cuff tear repairs Biceps tenodesis Biceps tendon reattachment Elbow: Tennis elbow repair Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstruction Extra-capsular repairs Knee: Medial collateral ligament repair Lateral collateral ligament repair Posterior oblique ligament repair Illiotibial band tenodesis Patellar tendon repair VMO advancement Joint capsule closure Medial/Lateral repairs/reconstructions Foot/Ankle: Achilles tendon repairs Midfoot and forefoot repairs Hallus valgus reconstruction Hand/Wrist: Collateral ligament repair (Gamekeeper's Thumb) Scapholunate ligament reconstruction Tendon transfers in phalanx Volar plate reconstruction ## Device Story Cylindrical human cortical bone anchor; 2:1 length-to-diameter ratio; attached to suture. Inserted into predrilled bone hole via disposable or reusable introduction device. Suture tensioning toggles/locks anchor in cancellous bone; curved needle secures soft tissue to bone. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone; facilitates healing. Benefits include biocompatible allograft material; equivalent pullout strength to titanium/stainless steel predicates. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance testing compared pullout strengths and failure modes of cortical bone anchors against titanium predicate anchors, demonstrating statistical equivalence. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Allograft human cortical bone. Form factor: Cylindrical anchor, ~2:1 length-to-diameter ratio. Insertion: Threaded suture loaded on tip of disposable or reusable introduction device. Sterilization: Sterile. 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 - Multitak SS™ titanium suture anchors ([K973015](/device/K973015.md)) - Multitak SS™ stainless steel anchor ([K934183](/device/K934183.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Box 1367, Effingham, Illinois 62401 Phone: 217.342.3412, ext. 321 Date Prepared: September 13, 1999 Proprietary Name: Multitak SSTM Bone anchor Common Name: Soft Tissue Anchor Classification Name: Unclassified. Device Description: Multitak SS™ bone anchors are cylindrical suture anchors with an overall ratio of approximately 2:1, length to diameter. The suture anchors are processed from human cortical bone and provided sterile and are intended for single use. The bone soft tissue anchors with attached suture are inserted into a predrilled bone hole site with a single use disposable or a reusable introduction device. The suture ends are pulled to engage cancellous bone and to toggle and lock the anchor in bony tissue. A curved needle attached to the suture end(s) is used to secure soft tissue to bone. Intended Use: The Multitak SS™ bone anchors are intended for use as load bearing or non-load bearing suture anchors in the attachment of soft tissue to bone in various orthopedic surgical procedures. The bone anchors are provided sterile and are intended for single use with suture up to USP Size No. 2. Multitak SS™ bone anchors are indicated for use in the following orthopedic soft tissue to bone fixation applications: - Shoulder: Bankart lesion repairs S.L.A.P. lesions repairs Acromio-clavicular repairs Capsular shift/capsulolabral reconstruction Deltoid repairs Rotator cuff tear repairs Biceps tenodesis {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Bonutti Research, Inc. - Multitak SSTM Bone Anchor 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Page 2 - Biceps tendon reattachment Elbow: Tennis elbow repair Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstruction Extra-capsular repairs Knee: Medial collateral ligament repair Lateral collateral ligament repair Posterior oblique ligament repair Illiotibial band tenodesis Patellar tendon repair VMO advancement Joint capsule closure Medial/Lateral repairs/reconstructions Foot/Ankle: Achilles tendon repairs Midfoot and forefoot repairs Hallus valgus reconstruction Hand/Wrist: Collateral ligament repair (Gamekeeper's Thumb) Scapholunate ligament reconstruction Tendon transfers in phalanx Volar plate reconstruction Predicate Device: The Multitak SS™ bone anchors are similar in intended use and design to Multitak SS™ titanium suture anchors (K973015.) The bone anchors method of insertion with disposable or reusable introduction devices is similar in design and materials to currently marketed Multitak SS™ introduction devices (K973015 and K934183.) Performance testing comparing the pullout strengths and failure modes of Multitak SSTM cortical bone anchors to titanium anchors demonstrated that the anchors were statistically equivalent. Predicate Comparison: A chart comparing characteristics of the Multitak SS™ bone anchors to those of the predicate devices is attached.
