23 devices · GMDN 44808
This category covers single-use metal wires and bars designed to stabilize fractured bone fragments and injured teeth within the oral cavity. Clinicians apply these devices directly to bone segments or teeth, wrapping and locking them to immobilize the jaw for healing. They are commonly employed for intermaxillary or maxillomandibular fixation to secure jaw alignment during recovery.
These devices are supplied as single-use items and are intended for direct application to bone and teeth to achieve mechanical stabilization. Regulatory classification varies by jurisdiction and specific device design, so they may fall under different risk-based categories depending on the market. They are not reusable and are disposed of after a single clinical application.
