Implantable bone washers are flat, ring-like or plate-like devices used in orthopedic, spinal, and craniofacial surgeries to secure bone fixation assemblies. They are placed between a nut and screw/bolt to enhance stability and reduce loosening in surgical repairs, such as fractures or spinal fusions.
These devices are typically single-use and may be made from metal, polymer, or reinforced polymer. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered medical devices subject to premarket review depending on their risk level and intended use.
