Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma). ## Device Story Stryker Spineplex™ Radiopaque Bone Cement is a PMMA-based bone cement used for the fixation of vertebral body fractures. It is intended for use in vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures performed by clinicians. The device functions as a structural filler to stabilize fractures caused by osteoporosis or lesions. By providing mechanical fixation, it aims to reduce pain and restore vertebral stability. The formulation is modified from the predicate to provide increased working time and enhanced radiopacity for improved visualization during surgical placement. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on chemical composition and technological comparison to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) bone cement. Modified ingredient ratios compared to predicate to optimize working time and radiopacity. Formulated for manual mixing and delivery during vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty procedures. ## Regulatory Identification Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.” ## Predicate Devices - Stryker Simplex® P ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
