Indications for Use
When used as a Vertebral Body Replacement Device: The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) for partial or total replacement of a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to trauma (i.e. fracture) to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Aesoulap PEEK Spinal Implant System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems such as the Aesculap S4 System. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System implants can be used individually or in pairs. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is also intended for use with bone graft. When used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion System: The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System consists of CeSpace PEEK Implants that are circular in shape with flattened sides. The CeSpace implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one level (C3-C7) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems such as the Aesculap S4 System. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is also intended for use with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the Aesculap device.
Device Story
Cervical/thoracolumbar intervertebral body fusion and vertebral body replacement system; implanted into vertebral space to improve spinal stability and support fusion; used with supplemental fixation (e.g., Aesculap S4 System) and bone graft; components available in various sizes to match patient anatomy; implanted by surgeons in clinical settings; provides structural support to restore vertebral height and facilitate fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing spine and relieving symptoms associated with DDD or vertebral trauma.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F2077 and F1717 per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance Document for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices.
Technological Characteristics
Manufactured from PEEK-Optima (ASTM F2026). Circular implants with flattened sides. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F2077 and F1717. Standalone implant system used with supplemental fixation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level (C3-C7) requiring spinal fusion, or patients with thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body collapse/instability due to trauma/tumor requiring replacement. Requires 6 weeks prior non-operative treatment for DDD.
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.
