Indications for Use
The ETurn spinal implant is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) in the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level. The ETurn devices are to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should have had at least six (6) months of non-operative care prior to treatment with this device. The ETurn spinal implant is intended for use with supplemental fixation such as posterior fixation by pedicle screws and rods.
Device Story
ETurn Spinal Implant is a hollow, curved frame intervertebral body fusion device; composed of carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) with tantalum markers. Implant features windowed body, central slot, distraction/insertion wedge, and surface treads for anchoring. Used in lumbar spinal fusion procedures; implanted by surgeons. Device provides structural support for bone graft; intended to facilitate fusion between vertebral bodies. Smooth tread surface increases pressure-bearing contact area compared to pointed anchors. Requires supplemental posterior fixation (pedicle screws/rods). Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment in DDD patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for mechanical performance; static compression, dynamic compression, and dynamic torsion testing per ASTM F2077; particulate characterization per ASTM F1877; and subsidence testing per ASTM F2267.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (62% ± 3% carbon fiber by volume) with tantalum threads (≤ 0.5% by volume). Form factor: Hollow, curved frame with windowed body, central slot, and surface treads. Principle: Intervertebral body fusion device for structural support. Standards: ASTM F2077 (mechanical testing), ASTM F1877 (particulate), ASTM F2267 (subsidence).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. Requires failure of at least 6 months of non-operative care. Must be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental posterior fixation.
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.
