Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Large Uni-Clip Staple is an orthopedic fixation device classified as a bone staple (Product Code JDR). It is designed to secure bone fragments or reconstruct bone structures by providing adjustable compression through a mechanical deformation mechanism. The staple features a diamond-shaped opening that, when widened, narrows the interaxis of its legs, allowing controlled compression during surgical application.
This device is intended for single-use in orthopedic procedures and is supplied sterile. It comes in various sizes, with interaxis measurements of 11, 12, 13, or 15 mm and lengths ranging from 13 to 20 mm. The Large Uni-Clip Staple holds an FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional review pathway, classified as Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. Storage and handling must comply with sterile surgical instrument protocols.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of orthopedic procedures is the Large Uni-Clip Staple intended for, and how does it work in those settings?
The Large Uni-Clip Staple is designed for securing bone fragments or reconstructing bone structures during orthopedic surgery. It works by providing adjustable compression through a mechanical deformation mechanism—specifically, its diamond-shaped opening widens to narrow the space between its legs, allowing controlled compression when applied. This makes it useful in procedures where stable fixation of bone segments is required, such as fractures or reconstructive surgeries.
Is the Large Uni-Clip Staple reusable, or is it meant for single-use only? How does this affect its storage and handling?
The Large Uni-Clip Staple is explicitly intended for single-use only in orthopedic procedures. Because it is supplied sterile, storage and handling must follow strict sterile surgical instrument protocols to maintain its integrity and prevent contamination before use. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer.
What size options are available for the Large Uni-Clip Staple, and how do the measurements relate to its clinical application?
The Large Uni-Clip Staple comes in four interaxis sizes (11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, and 15 mm) and four lengths (13 mm to 20 mm). The interaxis measurement refers to the distance between the staple’s legs when closed, which determines how tightly it can compress bone fragments. The length refers to the overall size of the staple, ensuring it fits the surgical site. These variations allow surgeons to select the appropriate size for the specific bone anatomy and compression needs.
How is the sterility of the Large Uni-Clip Staple ensured, and what precautions should be taken during storage?
The Large Uni-Clip Staple is supplied sterile to ensure safety for surgical use. To maintain sterility, it must be stored in accordance with standard sterile surgical instrument protocols—typically in sealed, sterile packaging until the time of use. Avoid exposure to moisture, contamination, or physical damage, as these could compromise its sterile condition.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Large Uni-Clip Staple, and what does this mean for its use in clinical settings?
The Large Uni-Clip Staple received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional review pathway, classified as Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined it has the same intended purpose and technical characteristics as an existing cleared device, ensuring it meets regulatory standards for safety and effectiveness. Clinicians can rely on this clearance as evidence of its compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements for orthopedic fixation devices.
