Indications for Use
The Kuros TLIF Cage is intended for use in intervertebral body fusion of the Kuros TLIF cage is inserted via a posterior approach and can be used in one level or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L1 to S1). The Kuros TLIF cage is designed for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion, and is to be used with supplemental posterior spinal fixation systems for use in the lumbar spine that are cleared by the FDA. The Kuros TLIF cage is intended for the treatment of patients with Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD) with up to grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients must be skeletally mature and have had at least six months of non-operative treatment.
Device Story
Kuros TLIF Cage is a rigid interbody fusion implant; restores intervertebral height; facilitates fusion in lumbar spine (L1-S1). Implanted via posterior (transforaminal) approach by orthopedic surgeons or neurosurgeons in hospital setting. Device features hollow geometry for packing with autograft/allograft bone graft; includes tantalum markers for radiographic visualization. Used in conjunction with supplemental posterior spinal fixation systems. Benefits patient by stabilizing spinal segment and promoting fusion in cases of Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD) with spondylolisthesis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data presented. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic compression shear (ASTM F2077), subsidence testing (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Material: PEEK Optima LT1 (ASTM F2026). Features: Hollow geometry for bone graft, tantalum markers for imaging. Dimensions: Various lengths and angles. Energy source: None (mechanical implant). Sterilization: Provided sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD) and up to grade 1 spondylolisthesis requiring intervertebral body fusion at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L1-S1) via posterior approach. Requires use with autograft/allograft and supplemental FDA-cleared posterior fixation. Contraindicated in patients without six months of failed non-operative treatment.
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.
