Overview
The AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor is a surgical device classified as a bone anchor (product code JDR) under FDA nomenclature. It is designed to provide secure fixation between soft tissue and bone, facilitating procedures such as rotator cuff repair. Constructed from a nonabsorbable acetal polymer, the device offers durable attachment without degradation over time. Its design ensures minimal tissue reaction while maintaining structural integrity during use.
This device is supplied as a sterile, single-use implant intended for orthopedic applications. It is available in multiple sizes, including those referenced in prior clearances (3mm, 5mm, and 6.5mm), though exact dimensions must be verified against the manufacturer’s specifications. The AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K060970) as substantially equivalent to previously cleared bone anchors. Storage and handling must comply with sterile medical device protocols to preserve integrity prior to surgical use.

Questions
What is the AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor used for?
The AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor is designed to provide secure fixation between soft tissue and bone, commonly used in procedures like rotator cuff repair. Its durable acetal polymer construction ensures long-term stability without degradation, reducing the risk of loosening or failure during healing.
How is the AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor supplied and what are its sizes?
The device is supplied sterile and intended for single-use only. It comes in multiple sizes, including 3mm, 5mm, and 6.5mm, though exact dimensions should always be confirmed against the manufacturer’s official specifications to ensure compatibility with the surgical application.
Is the AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor reusable or single-use?
This device is explicitly intended for single-use only. Its nonabsorbable acetal polymer material is not designed for sterilization or reuse, and repeated use could compromise structural integrity or sterility, posing risks to the patient.
What materials is the AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor made from?
The AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor is constructed from a nonabsorbable acetal polymer. This material choice ensures durability and resistance to degradation over time, minimizing tissue reaction while maintaining stability during surgical procedures.
How should the AxyaLoop Nonabsorbable Bone Anchor be stored?
The device must be stored and handled according to sterile medical device protocols to preserve its integrity before use. Improper storage—such as exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, or contamination—could compromise sterility or physical properties, making it unsafe for surgical implantation.
