Indications for Use
The PERIMETER® Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for interbody fusion 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 spinal surgery at the level(s) to be treated may have different clinical outcomes compared to those without a previous surgery. These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive approaches. These approaches include anterior, lateral and oblique. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Story
PERIMETER® Interbody Fusion Device consists of hollow cages inserted between lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to provide support and correction during fusion surgery. Implants are packed with autogenous bone graft; designed with surface teeth for expulsion resistance. Offered in Titanium Alloy or PEEK Optima LT1; titanium versions include lateral windows for graft visibility. Used in open or minimally invasive (anterior, lateral, oblique) approaches. Requires supplemental fixation instrumentation. Physician-operated in surgical settings. Benefits include structural support and stabilization of vertebral segments in DDD patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance verified via dynamic axial compression, bending, and static compression shear testing in accordance with ASTM 2077-03, supplemented by finite element analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI or PEEK Optima LT1. Dimensions: 8-20mm height, 21-28mm length, 19-38mm width; 4-15 degrees lordosis. Design: Hollow geometry with surface teeth for endplate grip; lateral windows on titanium versions. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Testing: ASTM 2077-03.
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. Used with autogenous bone graft 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.
