Indications for Use
The MectaLIF Anterior is an anterior interbody fusion device indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component of the MectaLIF Anterior can be packed with autograft or autologous bone graft. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The MectaLIF Anterior is a system intended to be used with the integrated bone screws provided and requires additional supplementary fixation such as pedicle screws and rods. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.
Device Story
MectaLIF Anterior is an anterior interbody fusion device; consists of PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 disc spacer with Tantalum markers; includes Titanium (Ti6Al4V ELI) bone screws and plates. Used in spinal surgery to facilitate fusion; spacer packed with autograft/autologous bone graft; plate secured to spacer via interlocking mechanism; system fixed to vertebral body with bone screws. Requires additional supplementary fixation (e.g., pedicle screws and rods). Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Benefits patients by providing structural support for fusion in DDD cases.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing conducted per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267, including static and dynamic axial compression, static and dynamic compression-shear, static and dynamic torsion, subsidence, and expulsion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Disc spacer: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F 2026). Markers: Tantalum (ISO 13782 / ASTM F 560). Screws/Plates: Titanium Ti6Al4V ELI (ISO 5832-3 / ASTM F 136). System includes three plate designs (Flush, Long, L5-S1) with interlocking mechanism. Mechanical fixation via integrated bone screws. Requires supplementary posterior fixation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, including those with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Patients must have failed six months of non-operative treatment. May be used in patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s).
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.
