Intended Use

The C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame, in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation, is intended for use in cervical fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allograft or auto grafts. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.

Device Story

C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame is an anterior cervical anchoring system; single-component staple design; conforms to anterior spine anatomy. Features two notched arms engaging vertebral bodies; functions via plastic deformation of implant body. Used in cervical fusion procedures to maintain position of weak bony tissue (allografts/autografts) alongside traditional rigid fixation. Not for load-bearing. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Modification adds new sizes (heights 12.5-22.5mm; arm lengths 10-17mm) and adds radii to leg extremities to reduce tip sharpness.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Performance supported by biomechanical bench testing, including pull-out fixation tests.

Technological Characteristics

Material: CP titanium with smooth anodized finish. Design: Single-component staple with two notched arms. Principle: Plastic deformation of implant body for fixation. Dimensions: Heights 12.5, 17.5, 22.5mm; arm lengths 10, 12, 14, 17mm. Tip geometry modified with 0.2mm radii.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in cervical fusion procedures to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue (allograft or autograft) in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation. Not intended for load-bearing applications.

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.

## 2. PREDICATE DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The C-JAWS implant is a single component system of anterior cervical anchoring. The staple is uniquely shaped to conform to the anatomy of the anterior spine. It features two notched arms, which engage the vertebral bodies and works by plastic deformation of the implant's body. The staples are available in multiple sizes the C-JAWS implant is manufactured from CP titanium and has a smooth anodized finish.

## 3. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE MODIFICATION

The purpose of this submission is to add additional sizes to the C-JAWS implant range: height of 12.5, 17.5 and 22.5mm and arm lengths of 10, 12, 14 and 17mm.

The rest of the sign is filled with black, with some white text or symbols scattered throughout. The sign appears to be a label or a marker of some kind.

In addition, radii (R=0.2mm) have been added to the extremity of both legs to reduce the sharpness of the tips of the C-JAWS legs. The modification is effective on the new submitted C-JAWS implants and has been applied to the K062181 cleared implants.

Additional instruments are also added.

#### INTENDED USE 4.

The C-JAWS implant, in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation, is intended for use in cervical fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allografts or autografts. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.

#### 5. PERFORMANCE DATA

Biomechanical testing, including pull out fixation tests were conducted.
