Intended Use
When used as lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices, SUSTAIN® Spacers (including SUSTAIN® R and SUSTAIN® R TPS) are intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). 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 at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). SUSTAIN® Spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation, such as the CREO®, REVERE®, REVOLVE® or BEACON® Stabilization Systems. When used as cervical intervertebral body fusion devices, SUSTAIN® Spacers are intended for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C2-T1) at one level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. SUSTAIN® Spacers are to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation, such as the ASSURE®, PROVIDENCE®, or XTEND® Anterior Cervical Plate Systems. When used as vertebral body replacement devices, SUSTAIN® Spacers are intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The spacers are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been labeled for use in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). The interior of the spacers can be packed with bone grafting material. SUSTAIN® Spacers are designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period.
Device Story
Spacers (SUSTAIN, PATRIOT, CALIBER, COALITION, INDEPENDENCE, FORTIFY, XPand, NIKO) provide structural stability in spine following discectomy, corpectomy, or vertebrectomy. Devices are PEEK polymer or titanium alloy, with some featuring titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating. Spacers are inserted into intervertebral space or used for vertebral body replacement; axial holes allow packing with autogenous bone graft or allograft. Protrusions on surfaces grip endplates to resist expulsion. Some models (COALITION, INDEPENDENCE, FORTIFY Integrated) include integrated screws for fixation. Used in OR by surgeons; supplemental fixation systems required for most models. Provides anterior column support; facilitates fusion. Benefits include structural restoration and stabilization of spinal segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per Class II Special Controls Guidance for Intervertebral Fusion Devices. Testing included dynamic compression, shear, and torsion (ASTM F2077) and comprehensive coating characterization (ASTM F1044, F1147, F1160, F1854, F1978) to ensure coating integrity and wear resistance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026), titanium alloy (ASTM F136, F1295), commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67), tantalum markers (ASTM F560), hydroxyapatite coating (ASTM F1185). Features: TPS coating (ASTM F1580). Form factor: Various shapes/heights for spinal approaches. Connectivity: N/A. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) or one level of the cervical spine (C2-T1), or for vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) due to tumor or trauma. Lumbar DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months non-operative treatment for lumbar or 6 weeks for cervical.
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).
