Device Story
PYTHON Plate Trial Instruments are reusable, device-specific surgical instruments used to assist in the placement of the TMC Plating System. Manufactured from titanium alloy, these instruments serve as trials to verify fit and positioning prior to permanent implant placement. They feature integrated drill guides allowing for bone preparation through the trial instrument itself. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings during foot reconstruction or fusion procedures; the instruments facilitate accurate bone preparation and implant alignment. By providing a temporary template, they help ensure correct sizing and positioning of the final fixation hardware, potentially improving surgical outcomes and reducing operative time.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Engineering analysis confirmed substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable trial instruments manufactured from Titanium alloy (ASTM F136). Features integrated drill guides for bone preparation. Designed for manual use by surgeons; non-implantable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion, and reconstruction of small bones of the feet, including hallux valgus correction, metatarsal fracture fixation, Lapidus fusion, flatfoot osteotomies, and various mid/flatfoot and medial column fusions.
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.

## Substantial Equivalence:
The subject PYTHON® Plate Trial Instrument components were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent with respect to indications for use, design, dimension, and materials to the following device, previously cleared by the FDA:
- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc (TMC) Plating System- PYTHON® Plate (K153531) ●
The intended use and indications for use, material and overall geometry for the predicate device is identical to those of the subject device. As the subject device is a trial instrument, and is not intended for implantation, it has additional attached drill guides that can be used to replace the modular drill guides which were cleared with the predicate implant. These drill guides allow bone preparation to be performed through the trial instrument and do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.
## Performance Testing:
Engineering analysis has confirmed the subject instruments to be substantially equivalent to the predicate PYTHON® Plates.
