## Device Story

Sleeve with ZipLoop™ Fixation Device; three-component assembly consisting of two sleeves and adjustable ZipLoop™ construct made of fiber material. Used by surgeons in orthopedic procedures to aid soft tissue-to-bone reattachment. Principle of operation: surgeon pulls ZipLoop™ construct tight, causing sleeves to lock against bone, thereby fixating soft tissue. Used in clinical settings (OR). Output is mechanical fixation of soft tissue. Benefits patient by providing secure reattachment during surgical repair.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing (pullout tests) comparing fixation strength to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Three-component assembly: two sleeves and adjustable fiber-based ZipLoop™ construct. Mechanical fixation principle. No energy source. Dimensions and materials are similar to predicate devices. Non-implantable software/electronics not applicable.

## Regulatory Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

## Predicate Devices

- Multitak SS Suture System™ ([K973015](/device/K973015.md))

### Device Description:

The Sleeve with ZipLoop™ Fixation Devices are a three component assembly consisting of two sleeves and a ZipLoop™ construct. The ZipLoop™ construct is an adjustable loop created with a single piece of fiber material. When the ZipLoop™ is pulled tight, the sleeve locks against the bone fixating the soft tissue. The Sleeve with ZipLoop™ Fixation Devices provide the surgeon with a means to aid in the management of soft tissue to bone reattachment procedures.

### Intended Use/Indications for Use:

The Sleeve with ZipLoop™ Fixation Devices are intended for fixation for the following indications:

### Shoulder

Bankart lesion repair, SLAP lesion repair, Acromio-clavicular repair, Capsular shift/capsulolabral reconstruction, Deltoid repair, Rotator cuff tear repair, Biceps tenodesis

### Foot and Ankle

Medial/lateral repair and reconstruction, Mid- and forefoot repair, Hallux valgus reconstruction, Metatarsal ligament/tendon repair or reconstruction, Achilles tendon repair

# " Elbow
