Indications for Use
The Stryker Spine Tritanium® PL Cage is an intervertebral body fusion device indicated for use with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. Additionally, the Tritanium® PL Cage can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. The Tritanium® PL Cage is to be implanted via a posterior approach. The Tritanium® PL Cage is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Story
Tritanium® PL Cage is a hollow, rectangular intervertebral body fusion device; implanted via posterior approach to aid lumbar spinal fixation. Device features solid and porous structures created via Laser Rapid Manufacturing (LRM) using proprietary Tritanium® In-Growth Technology. Serrated superior/inferior surfaces provide fixation; anterior edge is ergonomically shaped; posterior edge is flat. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings; used as adjunct to autograft/allogenic bone graft and supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared for lumbosacral spine. Device provides structural support to intervertebral space to facilitate fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments affected by DDD or degenerative scoliosis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance: static/dynamic compression, compression shear, torsion (ASTM F2077), expulsion (ASTM F04-25-02-02), subsidence (ASTM F2267), wear debris assessment, and impaction. Bacterial endotoxin testing performed per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011.
Technological Characteristics
Constructed from Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F1472-08). Features porous and solid structures via Laser Rapid Manufacturing (LRM). Includes graft windows, serrated surfaces, and various lordotic angles/dimensions. Provided sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) or degenerative scoliosis. DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis and must have failed six months of nonoperative therapy.
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.
