Intended Use

The components of the Next Generation Rodding System are indicated for spinal fixation. When used as an anterolateral/anterior system consisting of rods ands screws, the levels of attachment are the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. The points of attachment and methods are screw fixation to the anterolateral vertebral bodies of the lumbar and thoracic spine (T6-L5) and the anterior vertebral bodies of the cervical spinę. The Indications are degenerative disc disease defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). When used as a nonpedicle posterior system consisting of hooks, crosslinks and sacral/iliac screws the levels of attachments are the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine and sacrum and ilium. Intended uses include hook and sacral screw fixation to the lumbar spine, noncervical spine and to the T1-S1 spine; and hook and sacral/iliac screw fixation to the noncervical spine. The indications are degenerative disc disease defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degenerative of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies, spondylolisthesis, fracture, spinal stenosis, deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumors, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). When used as a pedicle screw system, in the non-cervical spine of skeletally mature patients, The Next Generation Rodding System is indicated for patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) at the L5-S1 joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of solid fusion mass. In addition, when used as a pedicle screw system, in the non-cervical spine of skeletally mature patients, the Next Generation Rodding System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, as an adjunct to fusion, in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic imparment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).

Device Story

System consists of rods, screws, hooks, and crosslinks for spinal fixation/stabilization. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat spinal instabilities, deformities, and degenerative conditions. Provides mechanical immobilization as an adjunct to fusion. Components attached to thoracic, lumbar, cervical, sacral, or iliac segments depending on configuration. Benefits patient by stabilizing spinal segments to facilitate solid fusion mass development.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Implant grade wrought Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM standards. System includes rods, screws, hooks, and crosslinks for spinal fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring spinal fixation/stabilization. Includes skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis (including severe Grades 3-4 at L5-S1), fractures, spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumors, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion. Pedicle screw use restricted to non-cervical spine, L3 and below, with autogenous bone graft.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.
