Indications for Use
The Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is indicated for vertebral body replacement and intervertebral fusion. When used for vertebral body replacement, The Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. As an intervertebral body fusion device, the Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. The Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant is designed for use with autograft to facilitate fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Story
Expandable PEEK-OPTIMA® Implant; rectangular, expandable spinal implant constructed of medical-grade PEEK. Used by surgeons in spinal procedures to replace diseased vertebral bodies (thoracolumbar) or facilitate intervertebral fusion (lumbar). Implant restores spinal column height and biomechanical integrity; used in conjunction with autograft and cleared supplemental fixation systems. Benefits include anterior decompression of neural tissues and stabilization of spinal segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Constructed of medical-grade Polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Rectangular, expandable design. Intended for use with autograft and supplemental fixation. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring vertebral body replacement (T1-L5) for tumors or fractures, or intervertebral fusion (L2-S1) for degenerative disc disease with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. Requires 6 months non-operative treatment for DDD. Used with autograft and supplemental fixation.
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.
