Indications for Use
The STALIFTM TT Intervertebral Body Fusion System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the treated level may be treated. These implants may be implanted via a laparoscopic or an open anterior approach. The STALIFTM TT is a stand alone system intended to be used with the bone screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation systems. The STALIFTM TT system may be used with bone grafting material (autograft only).
Device Story
Radiolucent intervertebral body fusion (IBF) cage; includes unicortical cancellous bone screws. Designed for stand-alone use without supplementary fixation. Features central cavity for autogenous bone graft packing. Cross-section profile matches vertebral body endplate. Available in varying widths, heights, and hole positions to accommodate patient anatomy. Implanted by surgeons via laparoscopic or open anterior approach. Provides structural support to facilitate spinal fusion in DDD patients. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment and promotion of bone fusion.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including static and dynamic mechanical testing (ASTM F 2077-03) and subsidence testing (ASTM F 2267-04).
Technological Characteristics
Radiolucent intervertebral body fusion cage with unicortical cancellous bone screws. Stand-alone system. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F 2077-03 (static/dynamic) and ASTM F 2267-04 (subsidence).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, including those with up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires six months of prior non-operative treatment. Suitable for patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the treated level.
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.
