Indications for Use
Cemented total joint replacement intended to replace diseased or severely worn articulating surfaces of the knee joint.
Device Story
Saiph Knee System is a total knee arthroplasty prosthesis replacing articulating surfaces of femur, tibia, and patella. Components include cast cobalt chrome femoral and tibial tray components and UHMWPE tibial bearing and patella. Device is intended for cemented fixation only; components are gamma irradiated. Used in orthopedic surgery by surgeons to treat degenerative joint disease, deformities, or fractures. System includes surgical instrumentation. Device functions as a semi-constrained prosthesis to restore joint function and reduce pain. Clinical benefit derived from successful joint replacement and improved mobility.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes data from UK National Joint Registries (127 procedures, 1.6-4.8 years follow-up, 0 revisions) and an ongoing multi-center post-market study in Australia and the UK (282 implants, 0.6-5 years follow-up, 3 revisions, 0 device-related failures). Data validates that surgical instruments meet user needs and the system is safe and effective.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Cast cobalt chrome (femoral/tibial tray), UHMWPE (tibial bearing/patella). Principle: Semi-constrained cemented knee prosthesis. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation. Design features: Stippled cemented surface, barb locking mechanism for tibial tray/bearing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty for pain relief or improved function due to: 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis); 2. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease (rheumatoid arthritis); 3. Correction of varus, valgus, or post-traumatic deformity; 4. Correction/revision of unsuccessful osteotomy or arthrodesis; 5. Revision procedures where other treatments failed; 6. Treatment of fractures unmanageable by other techniques. Intended for cemented use only in the U.S.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
