Indications for Use
The Lateral Cage System 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, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. This system is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The system 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. When used as a vertebral body replacement device, this system is intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation. The Lateral Cage System is also indicated for intervertebral body fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiquous 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. These implants may be implanted via an open or a minimally invasive lateral approach. When used as an interbody fusion device, this system is intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation.
Device Story
Lateral Cage System; spinal implant for vertebral body replacement (VBR) or intervertebral body fusion. Implants feature open architecture for autograft/allograft packing; available in various heights and lordotic configurations. Used in thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5 for VBR; L2-S1 for fusion). Implanted via open or minimally invasive lateral approach by surgeons. Requires supplemental internal fixation. Restores spinal column height and biomechanical integrity; facilitates fusion in DDD patients. Benefits include decompression of neural tissues and stabilization of spinal segments.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing characterizing the device performance.
Technological Characteristics
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer construction. Open architecture design for bone graft packing. Various heights and lordotic configurations. Implanted via lateral approach. Requires supplemental internal fixation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body disease (tumors, fractures, collapsed height) or degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. DDD patients must have 6 months of failed non-operative treatment. Contraindications include skeletal immaturity.
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.
