Indications for Use
The MectaLIF implants in combination with supplemental fixation are indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2 - S1 whose condition requires the use of interbody fusion. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). Patients must be skeletally mature. Patients should have received 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices.
Device Story
MectaLIF Extension is an intervertebral body fusion device designed for spinal surgery. It features a bullet-nose tip geometry to provide self-distraction during insertion into the disc space. The device is implanted by a surgeon during spinal fusion procedures to stabilize the disc space in conjunction with supplemental posterior fixation (e.g., pedicle screw systems) and autogenous bone graft. It is intended to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. The device is a modification of existing MectaLIF systems, incorporating new sizes and the self-distracting tip. It is manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA LT1, Tantalum, and Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance was evaluated through engineering analysis and mechanical testing protocols based on ASTM standards (F2077, F2267) comparing the subject device to worst-case predicate configurations.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F 2026), Tantalum (ISO 13782 / ASTM F 560), and Titanium Ti6Al4V ELI (ISO 5832-3/ASTM F 136). Features: Bullet-nose tip geometry for self-distraction. Standards: ASTM F2077 (Static/Dynamic Axial Compression, Static/Dynamic Compression/Shear), ASTM F2267 (Subsidence Resistance).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous spinal levels (L2-S1) requiring interbody fusion. DDD defined as discogenic pain with radiographic confirmation. Includes patients with prior non-fusion spinal surgery. Requires 6 months prior non-operative treatment. Used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental 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.
