Flower Locking MechanismOur patented locking principle is based on a titanium-alloy, polyaxial screw with a bone and locking thread,which is inserted and locked into the FlowerGroove™ of the plate (titanium). By applying a defined torque,the screw head is compressed into the FlowerGroove, which then creates interference that locks the screwhead into the FlowerGroove. The locked angle stability secures the screw in the plate and avoids any potentialfor backwards migration of the screw.
Flower Orthopedics has developed over 400 plates that can be used for various indications. All of the Flowerimplants are manufactured to the highest quality and standards, and all use two standardized locking diameterranges (Flower Small, Flower Medium).
For indications where a Locking Screw is not desired, Flower developed variable angle non-locking screwsthat can be placed in the Flower Locking hole, without engaging the locking mechanism.
Secure Locking at any any angle:
• Variable Angle Screws can be inserted up to ±15° in all directions• Variable Angle Locking Screws are securely locked through the range of insertion angles• FlowerGroove eliminates potential cross-threading • Locking engagement begins at final screw turn • Titanium: Screw, Grade 5; Plate, Grade 2 → produces a robust locking construct• Permanent, yet reversible locking → Surgeon can position locking screw up to 3 times (if necessary)• Torque Limiting Screw Driver provides audible & tactile assurance that construct is locked• FlowerGroove also accepts Variable Angle Non-Locking Screws

FlowerBasic™ and FlowerAnatomic™ Flower Orthopedics carries two distinct product lines; FlowerBasic and FlowerAnatomic. Platesin both product lines are made out of grade 2 titanium in Germany, adhering to the strictestmanufacturing guidelines. FlowerBasic plates are for general, and multi-use and include ourextensive line of Recon and Osteosynthesis plates. FlowerAnatomic plates are all anatomicallycountoured, low profile and engineered for specific applications.
Both FlowerBasic and FlowerAnatomic use our standard instrumentation, and are available inpre-built and customized FlowerCubes™.

• Plate window allows direct visualization, bone graftapplication and fragment manipulation through theplate
• Plate trial templates simplify plate selection and act asbending template
• Streamlined instrumentation provides ease of use withzero learning curve
FlowerAnatomic™: Volar Distal Radius PlateAnatomic fracture reduction and stabilization can beachieved with the precontoured distal radius plates.Developed through comprehensive morphologyanalysis, the plates rarely require bending to matchthe complex geometry of the distal radius. The platedesign expedites intraoperative restoration of thepatient’s anatomy, optimum plate placement andconstruct stabilization.
The anatomic contour provides optimizedintermediate and radial column support, whilefragments are structurally buttressed to the anatomy.Appropriately spaced distal screw holes deliveroptimal subchondral support and fragment reduction.
Plates, designed to minimize soft tissue disruption,naturally sit proximal to the watershed line.
Targeted locking screw holes provide enhancedfixation, precise to anatomic fragments of the radialstyloid and volar ulnar corner.
The preassembled, radiolucent guide block facilitateseasy plate insertion and preliminary plate fixationwith K-wires. The patent-pending design promotesproper plate and screw placement while reducing thenumber of steps, and potentially amount offluoroscopy, needed for implantation.
A K-wire hole targeted to the tip of the radial styloid provides access to reduce small and large fragments.
Plate window allows direct visualization, bone graft application and fragment manipulation through the plate.
Plates are manufactured from Grade 2 commercially pure titanium providing an elastic modulus closer to that of bone than titaniumalloy or stainless steel and reducing the propensity of stress shielding according to Wolff’s law.
All screw holes accept both locking and non-locking screws.
Plate trial templates simplify plate selection and act as bending template, for extreme anatomy.
Streamlined instrumentation provides ease of use with zero learning curve.

Intended Use I Indications for Use
The Flower Small and Medium Implants set is intended for use for internal fixation of fractures andreconstruction of bones, including the scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia,fibula, hand and foot in adults and for use in long bones in adolescents (12-21) in whom the growthplates have fused. Examples of these internal fixations and reconstructions include compressionfractures, intra-articular and extraarticular fractures, displaced fractures, osteotomies, non-unionsand mal-unions.
This system can be used for palmar, ventral, dorsal or orthogonal application.
Technological Characteristics
The Flower Small and Medium Implants set consists of the follow ng components and accessories:pure titanium small straight plates, small and medium reconstruction plates, medium osteosynthesisplates, proximal humerus plates, distal radius plates, L-shaped plates, T-plates, angular T-shapedplates, H-shaped plates, mediocarpal plate; and titanium alloy screws. The device is also providedwith general purpose instruments. All plates are made of pure titanium (ISO 5832-2).
The Flower Small and Medium Implants set provides fixed-angle lockable screws and plates toassist with internal fixation of fractures and reconstruction of bones. The principles of operation ofthe device are similar to other bone plating systems. The plates are comprised of various shapes,alignments, thicknesses, widths, and lengths designed to contour to different bones and locations onthe body for internal fixation or reconstruction following fracture. Each of the plates contains severallocking holes that allow for the insertion of Flower Small and Medium Implants locking screws. Touse the Flower Small and Medium Implants set, the surgeon first selects an implant of theappropriate size and shape based on the intended site of use. The plate should be placed in anappropriate location on the given bone or anatomical location in need of repair.
Performance Data
In support of this 510(k) Premarket Notification, Flower Orthopedics has conducted the followingtesting. In all instances, the Flower Small and Medium Implants set functioned as intended.* Biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 was established, demonstrating
that the materials are non-cytotoxic and biocompatible.* Sterilization validation of implants and instruments demonstrated assurance level of 10-6 for
this method of sterilization using the specified gamma sterilization cycle.* Packaging validationand shelf life testing ensured that the packaging can maintain its physical
integrity and maintain a sterile barrier over the stated period.
Substantial Equivalence
The Flower Small and Medium Implants system is very similar to Synthes's 3.5 mm and 4.5 mmLocking Compression Plate (LCP) System with Expanded Indications (K082807), the Synthes 3.5mm and 4.5 mm Curved Narrow and Broad Locking Compression Plates (LCP) (K092609), Stryker'sVariAx Distal Radius Locked Plating System Line Extension for Addition of Aiming Blocks(K1 12455), KLS-Martins Hand Plating System (K040598), and Synthes 2.4mm VA-LCP IntercarpalFusion System (K103243). The Flower Small and Medium Implants system has the same intended
k123562 Page 3/3
uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as itspredicate devices. The overall surgical procedure for the Flower Small and Medium Implants setand the predicate devices are very similar and there are no new types of safety or effectivenessconcerns. The minor difference in the locking feature between the Flower system and the predicatesystems do not significantly alter the surgical technique. The minor technological differencesbetween the Flower Small and Medium Implants and its predicate devices, e.g., minor differences inthe range of available geometries and dimensions, raise no new types of safety or effectivenessquestions because these size differences are very minor and are largely encompassed within therange of similar parameters in the predicate devices. Engineering analysis has been performed todemonstrate that the Flower Small and Medium Implants system provides appropriate mechanicalstrength for its intended use. Thus, the Flower Small and Medium Implants system is substantiallyequivalent.
