Orthopaedic bone wire

4,638 GUDID devices

A wire intended for the fixation of bone fractures that may be implanted or used short-term (e.g., to hold a plate in the correct position during an intervention). It may be used: 1) as a cerclage wire to aid bone fixation; 2) in a loop or figure-of-eight c...

Orthopaedic fixation plate cerclage pin/eye

10 GUDID devices

A small implantable device designed to facilitate implantation of an orthopaedic fixation plate using cerclage cable or wire, whereby it attaches to the plate and/or underlying bone and provides a hole (eye) through which the cerclage cable is threaded. The...

Orthopaedic bone pin, non-bioabsorbable

1,770 GUDID devices

A thin, implantable rod intended to be used for the stabilization of a bone fracture or bone grafts, or for an osteotomy or arthrodesis (internal and/or external fixation). It is typically drilled into bone and may be smooth or threaded, solid or cannulated...

Internal orthopaedic fixation system, cerclage wire/cable, sterile

187 GUDID devices

A sterile assembly of implantable devices designed for general orthopaedic repairs including procedures for long bone fractures, hips, spine, bone grafting and reinforcement of bone. It may also be used for supplementary fixation and reduction with bone pla...

External orthopaedic fixation system reprocessed component

1,077 GUDID devices

A component of an external fixation system intended to be used to stabilize a fractured bone/joint. It may be a specially designed frame, clamp, rod, pin, rod-to-rod coupling, rod-to-pin coupling, post, fastener, wire, bolt, washer, nut, hinge, ring, socket...

Internal orthopaedic fixation system, plate/screw, non-bioabsorbable

387 GUDID devices

An assembly of implantable devices designed for the stabilization of fractured/surgically-cut bones of the limbs (long bones), their appendages (hands, feet), pelvis, craniomaxillofacial bones, and/or for limb-joint fusion. It typically consists of a set of...

Craniofacial bone wire/bar

21 GUDID devices

A length of metal (e.g., stainless steel) intended to stabilize bony fragments (fractured bone) in the oral cavity and/or stabilize injured teeth. Stabilization occurs by direct application of the device to the bone/teeth (e.g., by wrapping the ligature aro...

Internal orthopaedic fixation system, plate/screw, bioabsorbable

10 GUDID devices

An assembly of implantable devices designed for the stabilization of fractured/surgically-cut bones of the limbs (long bones), their appendages (hands, feet), craniomaxillofacial bones, and/or for limb-joint fusion. It typically consists of a set of bone fi...

Memory-alloy orthopaedic fixation plate

8 GUDID devices

A non-sterile implantable device made of a shape memory alloy (SMA) [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)] designed for the fixation of a bone fracture without the use of screws or wires or other holding devices. It typically consists of a cylindrical or c...

Maxillofacial bone wire/bar

6 GUDID devices

A length of metal (e.g., stainless steel) intended to stabilize bony fragments (fractured bone) in the oral cavity and/or stabilize injured teeth. Stabilization occurs by direct application of the device to the bone/teeth (e.g., by wrapping the ligature aro...

Orthopaedic implant aiming/guiding block, reusable

2,076 GUDID devices

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) ...

Orthopaedic implant aiming/guiding block, single-use

1,783 GUDID devices

A sterile 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...

Orthopaedic intraoperative positioning pin, single-use

498 GUDID devices

A nonimplantable device in the form of a thin rod intended to be drilled into bone to assist with the positioning of an implantable device and/or surgical instrument (e.g., fixation plate, drill guide) during an orthopaedic procedure. It is also referred to...
