Intended Use
The VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Specifically, the VERTE-STACK™ device is to be used with the Medtronic Sofamor Danek ZPLATE II Anterior Fixation System, the Titanium DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, the Titanium TSRH® Spinal System, the Titanium CD HORIZON® Spinal System or the Titanium GDLH® Spinal System. Additionally, the VERTE-STACK™ device is intended to be used with bone graft.
Device Story
VERTE-STACK™ is a stackable spinal spacer system for vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). Components are inserted between vertebral bodies following corpectomy to aid surgical correction and stabilization. Device is not for stand-alone use; requires supplemental anterior/posterior spinal instrumentation and bone graft. Fabricated from titanium alloy or PEEK OPTIMA LT with tantalum markers. Stackable design allows customization to individual patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to restore vertebral height and provide structural support in cases of tumor or trauma.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Stackable spacer system; materials: titanium alloy or PEEK OPTIMA LT; includes tantalum markers for radiopacity. Modular design for height adjustment. Must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g., ZPLATE II, DYNALOK, VANTAGE, TSRH, CD HORIZON, GDLH). Titanium constructs incompatible with stainless steel fixation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral bodies in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) resulting from tumor or trauma (fracture). Must be used with supplemental fixation and bone graft.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.

II. Proprietary Trade Name: VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System
### III. Classification Name: Spinal Intervertebral Body Fixation Orthosis (21 CFR 888.3060)
#### III. Product Description
The VERTE-STACK™ device is a stackable spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior thoracic and lumbar spine. The device is intended for vertebral body replacement to aid in the surgical correction and stabilization of the spine. The construct is not intended to be employed as a stand-alone device. The VERTE-STACK ™ device is fabricated and manufactured from titanium alloy. Alternatively the device may be manufactured from POLYETHERETHERKETONE (PEEK OPTIMA LT) and includes a tantalum marker.
The design of the VERTE-STACK™ device includes a variety of stackable components of different sizes and heights. The stackable components are designed to suit the individual patient anatomy.
The VERTE-STACK™ device may be used individually, or two or more may be stacked together in order to accommodate the individual anatomical requirements of the vertebral space created by the corpectomy.
The VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System must be used with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability. VERTE-STACK™ constructs manufactured with PEEK may be used with stainless steel or titanium supplemental fixation devices. Titanium VERTE-STACK™ constructs may not be used with stainless steel supplemental fixation devices.
The purpose of this submission is to offer a titanium version of the previously cleared VERTE-STACK™ Spinal System components.
