Device Facts

• Record ID: K980690
• Device Name: CABLE SCREW WITH INTEGRAL CRIMP
• Applicant: Pioneer Surgical Technology
• Product Code: JDQ · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: May 22, 1998
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3010
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The Cable Screw with Integral Crimp is indicated where a fracture may not be securely held by either a screw or a cerclage cable alone. The device can be used in conjunction with plating: - humeral fractures - medial malleolus fractures - butterfly fractures requiring interfragmentary fixation with cerclage cabling - femur fractures - pelvic fractures - forearm shaft fractures - patellar fractures - olecranon fractures - proximal tibial and tibial shaft fractures

Device Story

Bone fixation device combining screw and cerclage cable functionality; features integral crimp mechanism. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings for fracture stabilization. Device provides interfragmentary fixation for complex fractures where standard screws or cables are insufficient. Integral crimp secures cable to screw, enhancing stability of fracture reduction. Facilitates bone healing by maintaining alignment; used alongside plating systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Bone fixation device consisting of a screw with an integrated crimp mechanism for cable attachment. Materials are standard orthopedic-grade metals. Mechanical fixation principle; non-powered; manual surgical instrumentation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with fractures requiring fixation where neither a screw nor a cerclage cable alone provides secure hold, including humeral, medial malleolus, butterfly, femur, pelvic, forearm shaft, patellar, olecranon, and proximal tibial/tibial shaft fractures. Used in conjunction with plating.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures.
