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 TiPEEK is an intervertebral body fusion device designed to replace degenerative discs and restore spinal column height. The device consists of PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 implants with a commercially pure titanium (CPTi) coating and tantalum markers. It is available in oblique and posterior configurations. Used in PLIF or TLIF surgical techniques, the device is implanted by a surgeon in an operating room setting. It functions as a structural spacer to be used in conjunction with autogenous bone graft and supplemental posterior fixation (e.g., pedicle screw systems) to facilitate spinal fusion. The device provides mechanical support to the intervertebral space, potentially alleviating discogenic pain and stabilizing the spinal segment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included static and dynamic axial compression (ASTM F2077), static and dynamic shear compression (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), wear analysis (ASTM F2077, ASTM F1877), abrasion resistance (ASTM F1978), static tensile strength (ASTM F1147), static shear strength (ASTM F1044), shear fatigue strength (ASTM F1160), and micrographical analysis (ASTM F1854).
Technological Characteristics
Implant material: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F 2026) with commercially pure titanium (CPTi) plasma-sprayed coating (ASTM F 1580). Markers: Tantalum (ISO 13782 / ASTM F 560). Form factor: Oblique and posterior interbody fusion device. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.
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 confirmed by history/radiography. Patients may have prior non-fusion surgery at the level(s). Requires 6 months of failed 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.
