Orthopaedic bone staples (non-adjustable, non-sterile) are small, curved metal implants used to stabilize fractured bones or secure soft tissues like ligaments and tendons to skeletal structures. They may also help control abnormal bone growth in conditions like skeletal deformities by being placed across growth plates. These devices are typically made from durable metal alloys and are designed for one-time use in surgical settings where sterility is not required.
These devices are generally classified as surgical implants and may require regulatory approval depending on the jurisdiction. They are often supplied as single-use items, though associated disposable components may be included. Regulations vary by country, so check local requirements before use or distribution.
