Device features crown and center pin for suture passage. Anchoring mechanism employs cantilevered beams for bony purchase. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for various ligament and tendon repairs across shoulder, hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle, and knee. Provides mechanical fixation to facilitate tissue healing. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Pre-clinical pullout strength testing performed in cadaver specimens. Results showed mean pullout strength of LM Anchor Products is substantially equivalent to Mitek predicate anchors. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: 316L stainless steel or 6Al-4V ELI titanium. Design: Cylindrical anchor with crown and center pin for suture passage. Fixation mechanism: Cantilevered beams for bony purchase. ## 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 - Mitek Surgical Products GII QuickAnchor ([K904436](/device/K904436.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K951233](/device/K951233.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K951472](/device/K951472.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K953764](/device/K953764.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K960448](/device/K960448.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K960439](/device/K960439.md)) - Li Medical Bone Anchor ([K960825](/device/K960825.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
