Intended Use

The INDUS™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior cervical intervertebral body fixation. This system is indicated for patients in whom stability is desired following anterior cervical fusion. The levels of treatment range from C2 to C7. Indications include symptomatic cervical spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis and or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), and re-operation for failed fusion or instability following surgery for above indications.

Device Story

INDUS™ Anterior Cervical Plate System provides spinal intervertebral body fixation; consists of plates, screws, and locking crowns. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to achieve stability following anterior cervical fusion (levels C2-C7). Components are non-sterile, single-use, and fabricated from titanium alloy. System utilizes self-tapping or self-drilling screws to secure plates to vertebrae. Benefits include stabilization of the cervical spine to facilitate fusion and address symptomatic conditions like trauma, stenosis, or degenerative disc disease.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device underwent mechanical performance testing in accordance with ASTM Standard F1717-04, "Standard Test Methods for Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model," to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F 136. Components: Plates, screws, locking crowns. Fixation: Self-tapping or self-drilling screws. Standards: ASTM F1717-04 (mechanical testing). Sterilization: Supplied non-sterile. Connectivity: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring anterior cervical intervertebral body fixation (C2-C7) for stability following fusion. Conditions include symptomatic cervical spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture/dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, degenerative disc disease, and re-operation for failed fusion or instability.

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.
