Indications for Use
The ENDOSKELETON® TO Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2?S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received 6 months of nor to treatment with the devices. The device must be used with supplemental fixation. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is indicated to be used with autograft bone.
Device Story
Endoskeleton® TO Interbody Fusion Device (IBD) is an additively manufactured titanium alloy implant for Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF). Designed with a large hollow center to house autograft bone; available with or without nanoLOCK® surface technology (microscopic roughened surface with nano-scale features). Used in clinical settings by surgeons to stabilize intervertebral spaces in patients with DDD. Requires supplemental fixation for stabilization. Benefits include structural support for spinal fusion and potential for enhanced osseointegration via nano-scale surface features. Implants are provided sterile.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical testing included static and dynamic axial compression, static compression shear, dynamic compression shear, and static torsion (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion. Biocompatibility and cleaning validations performed per ISO 10993; bacterial endotoxin testing per AAMI ST72.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136 and ASTM F3001. Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing. Surface: Macro-roughened or nanoLOCK® (nano-scale features). Form factor: Interbody fusion cage with hollow center for autograft. Sterilization: Sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1, including those with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months of prior non-operative treatment and use with supplemental fixation and autograft bone.
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.
