Questions

AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What types of femoral defects is this system specifically designed to address in orthopedic surgery?

    This system is designed for segmental femoral defects, where portions of the femur require structural replacement to restore hip joint function. The modular, press-fit design of the Compress Segmental Femoral Replacement System (Short Spindle and Anchor Plug) provides targeted support in cases where bone integrity is compromised, ensuring stability and alignment during hip reconstruction.

  • How is the device supplied, and is it intended for single-use or reusable applications?

    The Compress Segmental Femoral Replacement System is supplied as a reusable medical device, meaning it is engineered for multiple surgical uses under proper cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance protocols. This design aligns with its classification as a Class III device under FDA regulations, where durability and reprocessing standards are critical for orthopedic implants.

  • What determines the size or configuration of the prosthesis, and how many variations are available?

    The system includes multiple sizes and configurations, each identified by unique FEI numbers (e.g., 3020282716, 3007923096, etc.). These variations accommodate different anatomical requirements for segmental femoral defects, ensuring a precise fit for patients. The modular design allows surgeons to select the appropriate spindle and anchor plug combination based on the specific defect and patient anatomy.

  • Is there any information provided about how the device should be stored or handled to maintain its integrity?

    While the provided data does not specify storage conditions or handling instructions in detail, the device adheres to regulatory standards for uncemented acetabular components, which typically require protection from contamination, moisture, and physical damage. Standard orthopedic inventory practices—such as sterile packaging, controlled humidity, and temperature—should be followed to preserve its functionality for reuse.
