DEVICE: CrossTIE™ (00815432022052)

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed for the surgical insertion and/or extraction of a non-tissue based (inorganic) orthopaedic implant (e.g., a bone nail, spiral blade, or bone fixation plate). It is an instrument in a one-piece or modular configuration with a region that will attach/fit/lock to part of the implant, and typically features either a mechanism to apply a striking force (e.g., on a pad/flange) a mechanism for twisting (screwing) (e.g., T-handle), or a plunger mechanism to deploy a guide to drive the implant into place. This is a reusable device.

A small, threaded, non-bioabsorbable, implantable rod intended for internal orthopaedic fixation by being screwed into a limb bone, rib, the sternum and/or pelvis to hold a plate, nail, rod or prosthesis to the bone, or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of a fractured bone; it is not intended to be introduced through the sleeve of a femoral neck fixation plate/sleeve, not used in dentistry/orthodontics, craniofacial or spinal bones, and not dedicated to intramedullary fixation/arthrodesis. It is typically of cortical or cancellous design and has a drive (e.g., slot, cross, star, polygonal) at its proximal end for introduction with a screwdriver.
