Used by surgeons in clinical settings for various ligament and tendon repairs (shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, hand/wrist, elbow, hip). Implants are used in conjunction with previously cleared UHMWPE suture tape. Device allows for anchor placement and independent suture tensioning and locking. Benefits include stable fixation of soft tissue to bone to facilitate healing. No software or electronic components. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance characterized through insertion, pullout strength, static interconnection strength, and fatigue testing on representative finished devices. No clinical data required. ## Technological Characteristics Implants manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Used with UHMWPE suture material. Design allows for anchor placement and independent suture tensioning/locking. Threaded and push-in form factors. No software, electronics, or energy sources. ## Regulatory Identification A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. ## Predicate Devices - Smith & Nephew, Inc.

The implant is marketed with previously cleared ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) 2.0mm OrthoTape® (K150438) which is provided sterile packaged from Teleflex, Inc. #### Predicate Devices: The Smith & Nephew, Inc. Footprint Ultra PK Suture Anchor (K093897, K113274, K123579) serves as the primary predicate, and the MTP Solutions LLC Titanium Suture Anchor (K133229) serves as a reference predicate device. #### Technological Characteristics Comparison: The LigaMetrics Suture Anchors and the predicates are similar in design, function, material, size and performance. Each subject and predicate device is designed to reattach soft tissue to bone. Further, the subject devices and Footprint Ultra PK Suture Anchor predicate device are designed to allow for anchor placement and independent suture tensioning and locking. The LigaMetrics Suture Anchor subject device implants and the Titanium Suture Anchor predicate device implants are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), a material with well-established biocompatibility and a long history of use in many previously cleared permanent implants. In addition, the subject and both predicate devices are for use with UHMWPE suture material. Side-by-side mechanical performance testing demonstrates that the design differences between the LigaMetrics Suture Anchor subject devices and the Footprint Ultra PK Suture Anchor predicate device introduce no new issues of safety or effectiveness. ## Nonclinical Testing: All necessary testing has been performed for the worst-case LigaMetrics Suture Anchors to assure substantial equivalence to its predicates and to demonstrate the subject devices perform as intended. All testing was performed on test units representative of finished devices. The performance of the LigaMetrics Suture Anchors was characterized through the following tests: - Insertion Testing ● - Pullout Strength Testing - Static Interconnection Strength Testing ● - Fatigue Testing Clinical data were not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. ## Substantial Equivalence: The Mortise Medical LLC LigaMetrics Suture Anchors are substantially equivalent to Smith & Nephew, Inc. Footprint Ultra PK Suture Anchor (K093897, K113274, K123579) and the MTP Solutions LLC Titanium Suture Anchor (K133229) with respect to their indications for use, design, material, size, performance and function. --- **Source:** [https://fda-staging.innolitics.com/device/K171964](https://fda-staging.innolitics.com/device/K171964) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
