Overview

AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026

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

The FairFix AM Adjustable Button and FairFix PSP Adjustable Button are extracortical fixation devices designed for ligament reconstruction, specifically for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) repairs. These devices feature adjustable suture loops and metal components to secure graft placement during surgical procedures, ensuring stable fixation at the bone-tunnel interface.

The FairFix AM includes a metal button, nonabsorbable adjustable suture loop, pulling suture, and flipping suture, while the FairFix PSP consists of an extracortical fixation device with a nonabsorbable adjustable suture loop. Both are pre-assembled on an implant card to streamline handling and graft connection. Used in clinical settings, these devices are intended for single-use and have received FDA 510(k) clearance under Special Review (K221389)

Questions

AI-generated answers, 19 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 ligament repairs are these devices specifically designed for, and how do they differ in their components?

    The FairFix AM and FairFix PSP Adjustable Buttons are designed for ligament reconstruction, specifically for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) repairs. The FairFix AM includes a metal button, a nonabsorbable adjustable suture loop, a pulling suture, and a flipping suture, while the FairFix PSP is an extracortical fixation device with a nonabsorbable adjustable suture loop only. Both feature adjustable suture loops and metal components to secure graft placement during surgery, ensuring stable fixation at the bone-tunnel interface.

  • Are these devices intended for reuse or single-use, and how are they packaged for surgical use?

    These devices are intended for single-use only. They are pre-assembled on an implant card, which simplifies handling and streamlines graft connection during surgery, reducing preparation time in the operating room.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and which advisory committee reviewed the submission?

    The FairFix AM and FairFix PSP Adjustable Buttons received FDA 510(k) clearance under Special Review (K221389). The submission was reviewed by the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee, and the device was classified under the product code MBI (Musculoskeletal Biologics and Materials).

  • How do the adjustable suture loops in these devices contribute to the surgical procedure?

    The adjustable suture loops in both the FairFix AM and FairFix PSP allow surgeons to fine-tune graft tension and positioning during ligament reconstruction. This adjustability ensures stable fixation at the bone-tunnel interface, helping to secure the graft securely in place while accommodating variations in anatomy and surgical technique.
