Device Story

Osteo Anatomical Bone Plates are orthopedic implants used for internal fracture fixation of long bones. The device consists of various plate configurations, including form plates, humeral plates, multi-condylar fragment plates, distal femur plates, and trochanter hip plates. These plates are surgically implanted by a physician to stabilize bone fractures. The device provides mechanical support to facilitate bone healing. The system is intended for prescription use only.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Manufactured from stainless steel. The device is a mechanical fixation plate system. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for internal fracture fixation of various long bones.

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.
