## Intended Use

Valeris BoneCam Suture Anchors are intended to be used for suture (soft tissue) fixation to bone in the foot, ankle, knee, hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and hip.

## Device Story

BoneCam Suture Anchors are orthopedic implants for soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Anchors feature integrated suture attachment and are pre-loaded on single-use inserters with UHMWPE sutures. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings for procedures including rotator cuff repair, ligament reconstruction, and tendon reattachment. Implants are secured into bone to provide mechanical fixation. Benefits include restoration of anatomical integrity for damaged soft tissues. Device is sterile and for single use only.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Axial pull-out testing per ASTM F543-13 performed in G20 and G40 polyurethane foam blocks using #2, 2-0, 3-0, and 4-0 sutures confirmed performance as intended.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (6Al4V ELI) per ASTM F136 or PEEK (Zeniva ZA-500) per ASTM F2026. Dimensions: 2.9mm-3.3mm diameter, 6mm-10mm length. Includes integrated UHMWPE sutures. Sterile, single-use. Mechanical fixation via threaded/smooth anchor design.

## 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.
