OrthoPediatrics’ Cannulated Screw System Cleared by FDA

The FDA has granted OrthoPediatrics 510(k) clearance for its Cannulated Screw System, a device used to treat bone fractures and fusions in smaller patients.

The new screws are made of stainless steel and come in 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm and 5.5mm sizes. It also offers an “all-in-one” option that increases operating room efficiency.

The company’s executive vice president, David Bailey, said the device is “innovative as it allows physicians to adequately address the issue when first detected/present.”
