• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The Dorsal Nail Plate™, Anatomical is intended for the fixation of fractures and osteotomies involving the distal Radius.

Device Story

Dorsal Nail Plate™, Anatomical is a metallic bone fixation device for distal radius fractures and osteotomies. Device consists of a distal segment for attachment to the dorsal surface of the distal radius and a proximal segment for insertion into the radial shaft. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone segments during healing. Output is physical fixation of bone. Benefits include structural support for fracture repair.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; equivalence confirmed through pre-clinical testing.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy meeting ASTM F 136 requirements. Metallic bone fixation plate. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius.

Regulatory Classification

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.
