An orthopaedic fixation suture button is a small implantable device used to secure the loop of a suture or ligature during surgical procedures, enhancing stability and precision in bone fixation. It is commonly employed in internal fracture repair, often alongside plates, screws, or other fixation hardware, to improve the reliability of soft-tissue-to-bone or bone-to-bone connections.
These devices are typically made from non-bioabsorbable metals such as titanium and are designed for implantation with specific instruments. They may be supplied with associated sutures or ligatures and are regulated as implantable medical devices based on their intended use and materials, without inherent classification as reusable or medicated.
