Overview

AI-generated summary, 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.

Threaded Pins are biodegradable fasteners designed for hard tissue fixation, classified as a Class III medical device under the FDA’s nomenclature. These pins provide internal stabilization for bone fractures or surgical repairs by securing fragments together until natural healing occurs, with the material gradually resorbing over time.

Supplied sterile in single-use packaging, these pins are intended for use in orthopedic procedures within an operating room environment. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K920188) and fall under product code MBJ, adhering to strict manufacturing and sterility standards. Sizes and threading specifications are standardized for compatibility with surgical instruments and fixation systems.

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.

  • Are these threaded pins meant for use in both internal and external bone fixation, or are they limited to a specific type of procedure?

    These threaded pins are designed specifically for internal bone fixation, providing stabilization for fractures or surgical repairs by securing bone fragments together. They are intended for use within an operating room environment during orthopedic procedures, where internal fixation is required. The biodegradable material resorbs naturally over time, allowing the bone to heal without the need for long-term hardware removal.

  • How are the threaded pins packaged and prepared for use in the operating room?

    The threaded pins are supplied sterile in single-use packaging, ensuring they meet surgical standards for contamination control. This packaging is designed to maintain sterility until opened in the operating room, where they can be directly used for internal fixation procedures without additional sterilization.

  • Are these pins reusable, or are they intended for one-time use only?

    These threaded pins are single-use only, as specified by their sterile packaging and classification as a Class III medical device. Reuse is not recommended or supported, as it could compromise sterility and patient safety. Each pin is intended for one surgical procedure before disposal.

  • What sizes and threading specifications are available for these pins, and how do they ensure compatibility with surgical instruments?

    The threaded pins come in standardized sizes and threading specifications to ensure compatibility with common orthopedic surgical instruments and fixation systems. While exact dimensions are not provided here, the design adheres to industry norms for internal fixation hardware, allowing for precise placement and secure fixation of bone fragments during orthopedic procedures.
