Device typeOrthopaedic bone staple, non-adjustable: A non-bioabsorbable, implantable device designed to be inserted into fractured bone to achieve fixation and repair; the device may also be used to attach/secure structures (e.g., ligaments/tendons) to bone, or to reduce/cease bone growth in skeletal deformities (e.g., by being implanted across epiphysial cartilage). It is typically a curved or U-shaped device made of metal alloy material, and is not adjustable after it has been applied. Guides for drilling integrated into the handle of the staple and disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
