## Intended Use

The C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame, in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation, is intended for use in cervical fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allograft or auto grafts. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.

## Device Story

C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame is a single-component anterior cervical anchoring staple; used in cervical fusion procedures to maintain position of bone grafts (allograft/autograft); functions as an adjunct to traditional rigid fixation; not for load-bearing. Implant features notched arms that engage vertebral bodies; mechanism involves plastic deformation of the implant body to conform to anterior cervical anatomy. Available in four sizes (15mm/20mm height; 14mm/17mm arm length). Manufactured from CP titanium. Used by surgeons in clinical settings.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biomechanical testing, including pull-out fixation tests, was conducted to evaluate performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: CP titanium. Design: Single-component staple with notched arms. Mechanism: Plastic deformation of the implant body for anatomical conformity. Dimensions: Four sizes (15mm/20mm height; 14mm/17mm arm length). Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

## Regulatory Identification

A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.

## 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

#### 2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The C-JAWS implant is a single component system of anterior cervical anchoring. The staple is uniquely shaped to conform to the anatomy of the anterior of from and one notched arms, which engage the vertebral bodies and works by plastic deformation of the implants body. The staples are available in four sizes, 15mm and 20mm for the height, 14 and 17mm for the arms length. The C-JAWS implant is manufactured from CP titanium and has a smooth and dirinh.

#### 3. INTENDED USE

The C-JAWS implant, in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation, is intended for use in cervical fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allografts or autografts. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.

### 4. PERFORMANCE DATA

Biomechanical testing, including pull out fixation tests were conducted.

### 5. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The C-JAWS Cervical Compressive Mini Frame is substantially equivalent to the BOWTI anterior buttress staple system (Depuy Acromed -- K021039) and MacroPore OS Spinal System (MacroPore, Inc. - K010911).
