It is intended to be used in the treatment of bone conditions including limb lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by use of the external fixation modality. ## Device Story Unilateral external fixation device; used for bone stabilization, limb lengthening, osteotomies, and arthrodesis. System comprises various sized components, including pin clamps, to accommodate diverse anatomies and injuries. Device couples to bone by securing pins into the frame. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide mechanical stability to bone segments. Benefits include stabilization of fractures and correction of bone deformities through external fixation. ## Technological Characteristics Unilateral external fixation system. Materials: aluminum, black carbon composite, and F-138 surgical grade stainless steel. Modular design with pin clamps for bone coupling. ## 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 - Avanta Orthopaedics External Fixator ([K974911](/device/K974911.md)/[K981716](/device/K981716.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
