Intended Use
The Latitude-C Interbody Spacer is indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one level in the cervical spine (C2-T1), in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease. Degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The Latitude-C Interbody Spacer is intended for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation, eg. Hyper-C Anterior Cervical Plate System. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the Latitude-C Interbody Spacer in the cervical spine.
Device Story
Latitude-C Cervical Interbody Spacer System is an intervertebral body fusion device used in anterior cervical fusion procedures. The device consists of a spacer with teeth on superior and inferior surfaces to prevent migration; available in 5 footprints and heights from 5mm to 14mm. Materials include PEEK, Porous Ti, HA PEEK, CFR, and Ti. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. The spacer is implanted between vertebrae to maintain disc space height and promote fusion, supported by autograft/allograft and supplemental fixation (e.g., anterior cervical plate). Benefits include stabilization of the spinal segment and relief of discogenic pain.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression and torsion), ASTM F2267 (subsidence), and ASTM F1877 (wear). Additional coating testing included static tensile strength, static shear strength, abrasion resistance, and shear fatigue. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Intervertebral body fusion device; materials include PEEK, Porous Ti, HA PEEK, CFR, and Ti. Features superior/inferior surface teeth for migration resistance. Available in 5 footprints and heights 5-14mm. Testing standards: ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267, ASTM F1877.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (neck pain of discogenic origin) requiring one-level spinal fusion in the cervical spine (C2-T1). Requires at least six weeks of prior non-operative treatment. Must be used with autograft/allograft 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.
