DEVICE: STRoPP (00815432023097)

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to grasp a suture needle when pushing/pulling the needle and attached suture through tissue during suturing. It has short serrated jaws at the distal end to provide better grip of the needle, and is available in a wide variety of sizes and designs, such as: 1) a self-retaining, scissors-like design with ring handles at the proximal end; 2) a tweezers-like design with bowed, hinged handles that are operated by squeezing them together; and 3) a heavy-duty pincer-like design. This is a single-use device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to grasp a suture needle when pushing/pulling the needle and attached suture through tissue during suturing. It is typically made of metal and has short serrated jaws at the distal end to provide better grip of the needle. It is available in a wide variety of sizes and designs, such as: 1) a self-retaining, scissors-like design with ring handles at the proximal end; 2) a tweezers-like design with bowed, hinged handles that are operated by squeezing them together; and 3) a heavy-duty pincer-like design. Some types may utilize inserts made of hard materials (e.g., carbide) and include scissor blades. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to invasively distract (force apart) two bone surfaces to enable a surgical procedure. It typically aids in fracture reduction by helping to temporarily stabilize bones prior to definitive surgical fixation. It typically consists of a central threaded spindle, a static endpiece and a sliding carriage that can be adjusted using spindle nuts to/from the endpiece to widen or shorten the gap; it facilitates the attachment of orthopaedic bone pins (Schanz screws) screwed into the bones to be distracted. It is typically used for multiple injuries when it is advantageous to perform procedures on a standard operating table. This is a reusable device.

A non-bioabsorbable device designed to be implanted into bone for the attachment of tendons/ligaments/soft tissues either directly or via a suture attached to the device; typically used in arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. This device is available in various designs and sizes and is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes [e.g., titanium (Ti)].

An orthopaedic surgical instrument designed to resect bone (cut out part of the bone) and precisely shape a specific area of bone as it is advanced for the acceptance of a prosthetic implant, typically at or within a joint (e.g., condyle of knee, neck of humerus, olecranon of ulna). Commonly called a mill or a reamer it is typically designed as either a preshaped or a solid cylindrical body with an end/circumferential cutting edge, and is attached to a shaft for manual or powered rotation. It is typically made of a high-grade stainless steel alloy available in varying sizes. This is a previously used single-use device that has been processed for an additional single-use patient application.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument intended to resect bone (cut out part of the bone), and in some cases hypertrophic tissue [e.g., ligamentum flavum], to: 1) accept a prosthetic implant, typically at or within a joint (e.g., condyle of knee, neck of humerus, olecranon of ulna); and/or 2) relieve pressure at or facilitate access to a joint. Commonly called a mill or a reamer, it is typically designed as a stainless steel cylindrical body with an end/circumferential cutting edge and is attached to a shaft for manual or powered rotation. This is a single-use device.

A wire intended for the fixation of bone fractures that may be implanted or used short-term (e.g., to hold a plate in the correct position during an intervention). It may be used: 1) as a cerclage wire to aid bone fixation; 2) in a loop or figure-of-eight configuration to reattach, e.g., the tip of the elbow (olecranon), tibial tubercle, or greater trochanter; 3) to augment bone screw/plate fixation; or 4) as a Kirschner wire or K-Wire to stiffen (arthrodese) a toe or finger. It is made of metal [e.g., stainless steel, cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr)], and may be malleable or rigid; some types include a nut designed to be attached to the wire to prevent wire migration. This is a single-use device.

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 non-powered, hand-held device intended to pass sutures or a needle/suture assembly through tissues/prosthetic materials to facilitate suturing during an endoscopic and/or open surgical procedure; it may also knot, cut and/or tighten the sutures/ligature loop during or after placement. It typically consists of a shaft with hooks, catches, clasps, or forceps-like jaws at the distal end, and a proximal handle with controls. It typically has a pointed/cutting component to create a suture tunnel, and is loaded with the sutures or the suture is inserted through the shaft. This is a single-use device.

A cylindrical-shaped, solid, metal instrument intended to be used to insert and pull suture material through tissue (e.g., skin, fascia, serous, vascular, or other tissue/organ) during surgical stitching of tissues. It is available in various lengths, curvatures, diameters, cross-sectional shapes, and distal end forms. This is a single-use device.
