Intended Use

The devices are intended for soft tissue-to-bone suture fixation for the following indications: Shoulder - Bankart lesion repairs - SLAP lesion repairs - Acromio-clavicular separation repairs - Rotator cuff tear repairs - Capsular shift or capsulolabral reconstructions - Biceps tenodesis - Deltoid repairs Foot and Ankle - Medial or lateral instability repairs/reconstructions - Achilles tendon repairs/reconstructions - Midfoot reconstructions - Hallus valgus reconstructions Elbow, Wrist, and Hand - Scapholunate ligament reconstructions - Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstructions - Tennis elbow repair - Biceps tendon reattachment Knee - Extra-capsular repairs: -- Medial collateral ligament -- Lateral collateral ligament -- Posterior oblique ligament - Iliotibial band tenodesis - Patellar tendon repairs

Device Story

Statak Soft Tissue Attachment Device; 2.5 mm diameter, self-tapping, self-drilling, fully threaded bone anchor. Features attached double-strand, braided, nonabsorbable Size No. 2-0 suture. Delivered via disposable driver compatible with powered handpieces. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure soft tissue to bone. Driver delivers anchor into bone; removed to leave suture strands for tissue fixation. Benefits include secure attachment of ligaments/tendons to bone during orthopedic reconstructive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Tension loading of suture in cadaveric hand bones compared to suture-only tenodesis procedure. Results demonstrated performance equivalent to suture-only tenodesis.

Technological Characteristics

2.5 mm diameter, self-tapping, self-drilling, fully threaded metallic bone anchor. Includes attached double-strand, braided, nonabsorbable Size No. 2-0 suture. Disposable driver interface for powered handpiece delivery.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue-to-bone suture fixation in shoulder, foot, ankle, elbow, wrist, hand, and knee procedures, including ligament, tendon, and capsular repairs/reconstructions.

Regulatory Classification

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.

- Device Description:

The Statak Soft Tissue Attachment Device anchor has a diameter of 2.5 mm, is self-tapping, self-drilling, and fully threaded. A double strand, braided, nonabsorbable Size No. 2-0 suture is attached to an eyelet at the end of the anchor. A disposable driver which can be attached to a powered handpiece holds the excess suture and delivers the anchor directly into the bone. When the driver is removed, the suture strands are left emerging from the bone. The strands are then used to secure the soft tissue to the bone.

- Intended Use:

The devices are intended for soft tissue-to-bone suture fixation for the following indications:

Shoulder

- Bankart lesion repairs
- SLAP lesion repairs
- Acromio-clavicular separation repairs
- Rotator cuff tear repairs
- Capsular shift or capsulolabral reconstructions
- Biceps tenodesis
- Deltoid repairs

Foot and Ankle

- Medial or lateral instability repairs/reconstructions
- Achilles tendon repairs/reconstructions
- Midfoot reconstructions
- Hallus valgus reconstructions

Elbow, Wrist, and Hand

- Scapholunate ligament reconstructions
- Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstructions
- Tennis elbow repair
- Biceps tendon reattachment

Knee

- Extra-capsular repairs:

-- Medial collateral ligament
-- Lateral collateral ligament
-- Posterior oblique ligament
- Iliotibial band tenodesis
- Patellar tendon repairs

- **Performance Data:**

The *Statak* Soft Tissue Attachment Device was tested by tension loading the suture in the hand bones of cadaver specimens, with the results compared to a suture-only tenodesis procedure in similar bone. The *Statak* Soft Tissue Attachment Device performed as well as the suture-only tenodesis procedure.
