Intended Use
The TIGER TRACK® screw system is intended for small bone extremities and large/long bone reconstruction fixation/ arthrodesis procedures for general use in skeletally mature individuals. The TIGER TRACK @ screw system is intended to be permanently implanted without any other additional device and are delivered sterile. The TIGER TRACK® screw system, for diameters 3.5mm or smaller(1.8mm, 2.2mm, 2.9mm), 3.0mm), is indicated for use in fixation for small bone fractures or for small bone reconstruction including: mono or bicortical osteotomies in the foot or hand; distal or proximal metatarsal or metacarpal osteotomies; Weil osteotomy; fusion of the first metatarsalphalangeal joint and interphalageal joint; fixation of osteotomies for Hallux Valgus treatment (such as Scarf, Chevron, etc.); Akin type osteotomy; distal radius fragments). ulnar styloid fractures, radial head fractures, capirellumn fractures, humeral head fractures, intercarpal distal and proximal fusions, malleolar fractures, patellar fractures, osteochondral fractures, tibeo-talar fusions, and cuboid fusions. The TIGER TRACK® screw system, for diameters 4.5mm and 7.0mm, is indicated for use for fractures, corrective osteotomies, pseudoarthrosis, degenerative transformations of long bones in the hind foot and large bone intra-articular fractures of the humerus, femur, and tibia. The size of the chosen screw should be adapted to the specific indication. The TIGER TRACK ® screw system is not for spiral use. The devices described in this manual must be accompanied with a form of immobilisation suited to the pathology being treated.
Device Story
TIGER TRACK® screw system consists of monobloc metallic/PEEK screws for bone fixation/arthrodesis. Available in self-compressive (distal/proximal threads with shaft) and non-compressive (full thread) configurations. Snap-off Weil screw variant uses head and distal thread for compression. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize fractures or osteotomies. Requires external immobilization post-procedure. Benefits include mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were performed.
Technological Characteristics
Monobloc screws. Materials: PEEK (Zeniva ZA-500, ASTM F-2026), Titanium alloy (ISO 5832-3 / ASTM F-136), Cobalt Chrome (ISO 5832-7 / ASTM F-1058). Configurations: self-compressive and non-compressive. Delivered sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature individuals requiring fixation or arthrodesis of small bone extremities (foot/hand) and large/long bone reconstruction. Specific indications include fractures, osteotomies (e.g., Weil, Scarf, Chevron, Akin), fusions (MTP, interphalangeal, intercarpal, talonavicular, tibeo-talar, cuboid), pseudoarthrosis, and degenerative transformations. Not for spinal use.
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 TIGER TRACK® screw system is intended for single use<br>only, and is available in a range of different diameters, lengths<br>and materials depending on the indication. The TIGER<br>TRACK® screw system has two categories of screws: self-<br>compressive screws and non-compressive screws.<br><br>The self-compressive screws have a distal and proximal thread,<br>separated by a cylindrical shaft where the fracture or osteotomy<br>line should be placed. The difference of pitch between the distal<br>and proximal thread provides compression between both<br>segments. The TIGER TRACK® snap-off Weil screw doesn't<br>have a proximal thread, the compression is done by its head and<br>the distal thread. The non-compressive screws have a full thread<br>allowing surgeons to only link both segments without any<br>compression.<br><br>All devices of the TIGER TRACK® screws system are<br>monobloc components. The TIGER TRACK® screw system<br>PEEK range is manufactured dry with grades of PEEK (Zeniva<br>ZA-500) per ASTM F-2026 from Solvay Advanced Polymers<br>released with predicate K133036, Titanium range is made of<br>alloyed Titanium ISO 5832-3 / ASTM F-136 and released with<br>predicate K131722, Snap-off threaded pin HV18XX range is<br>made of Cobalt Chrome according to the ISO 5832-7 / ASTM<br>F-1058 and released with predicate K120739.<br><br>The feature design of the TIGER TRACK® screw system is<br>substantially equivalent to the design features of other devices<br>previously cleared for market. |
