Indications for Use
Fusion Advantage Cervical Cages are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Fusion Advantage Cervical Cages are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. Fusion Advantage Cervical Cages are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. The Fusion Advantage Lumbar Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). Fusion Advantage Lumbar Cage implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open posterior, transforaminal or lateral approach. The Fusion Advantage Lumbar Cages are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device.
Device Story
Fusion Advantage Interbody Cages are spinal implants designed to maintain disc space distraction and facilitate fusion. Cervical cages are oval-shaped with 2.5° lordotic form; lumbar cages are rectangular. Both feature surface ridges to prevent migration and central graft spaces for autograft/autogenous bone. Implants are placed by surgeons via anterior (cervical) or posterior/transforaminal/lateral (lumbar) approaches. Used in conjunction with supplemental fixation to stabilize the spinal column. Benefits include bony integration and stabilization of the affected spinal segment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical strength testing performed according to ASTM F2077 and F2267 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 polymer (ASTM F2026). Design: Cervical (oval, 2.5° lordotic) and Lumbar (rectangular) cages with surface ridges for migration resistance. Mechanical testing: ASTM F2077/F2267.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C3-C7, one level) with radicular symptoms, or lumbar spine (L2-S1, one or two contiguous levels) with discogenic pain and up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Requires failure of 6 weeks (cervical) or 6 months (lumbar) of non-operative treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval. (c) *Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
