DEVICE: TriMAX Implant System (00815432027590)

A small non-sterile rod intended to be inserted into bone to temporarily anchor a surgical instrument (e.g., retractor, implant aligner) to bone during an orthopaedic surgical procedure; it is not left in situ after the procedure. It may be wholly- or partially-threaded for screwing into bone, and may have other physical features to enable fixation of surgical instruments. It is made of metallic (e.g., stainless steel) or polymer (radiolucent) material and is available in various shapes and sizes. This is a single-use device intended to be sterilized prior to use.

A small rod intended to be inserted into bone to temporarily anchor a surgical instrument (e.g., retractor, implant aligner) and/or implantable device (e.g., fixation plate) to the bone during an orthopaedic surgical procedure; it is not left in situ after the procedure. It may be wholly- or partially-threaded for screwing into bone, and may have other physical features to enable fixation of surgical instruments/devices. It is made of metallic (e.g., stainless steel) or polymer (radiolucent) material and is available in various shapes and sizes. This is a single-use device.

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.

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.

A surgical, jig-like device designed as a preshaped block with a defined pattern of prefabricated holes used to guide other instruments [e.g., drill sleeves and guide wires (Kirschner wires)] and/or to align a corresponding implant (e.g., a fixation plate) during an orthopaedic procedure. It is typically made of metallic or synthetic materials and may have an attachment point for an implant. This is a reusable device.

A surgical instrument that is designed as an elongated, tapered and serrated cutting tool intended for shaping and enlarging holes in bone tissue. This is a reusable 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 single-use device.

This is a reusable device.

A manual surgical device designed to simultaneously place, angle, and guide a rotating surgical drill on hard tissue (e.g., bone); some types are also intended for guiding bone-coring instruments (e.g., keel punch). It is designed in a tubular form or with guiding holes and may have serrations at its distal end to enable firm placement on hard tissue surfaces (it is not bored into the tissue); it can have a handle or be held by another device (e.g., orthopaedic jig), and typically allows protection of the surrounding soft tissue during surgery. It is typically made of metal and may have graduations along its length; it is not custom-made for a specific patient. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held tubular surgical device designed to simultaneously place, angle, and guide a rotating surgical drill on hard tissue (e.g., bone), and to protect the surrounding soft tissue while the drill is in operation. It may have serrations at its distal end to enable firm placement on hard tissue surfaces (it is not bored into the tissue); it can have a handle at its proximal end for holding and manipulation, or it may be held by another device (e.g., orthopaedic jig). The device is typically dedicated to drill bit size, made of metal, and may have graduations along its length; it is not custom-made for a specific patient. This is a single-use device.

A metal and/or plastic hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to position an orthopaedic implant within the body by transmission of an impact force that drives the implant into its final position. The proximal end of the instrument is a handle usually designed to absorb the impact from a surgical hammer or mallet, and the distal end is usually shaped to conform to the implant shape (flat or anatomically curved) or is shaped like a chisel handle to facilitate implant positioning. This is a reusable device.
