The SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. ## Device Story The SYNTHES® Contoured SynMesh® Spacer is a titanium vertebral body replacement implant; used in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) following corpectomy or vertebrectomy. The device provides anterior spinal column support for collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebrae caused by tumor or trauma. It is intended for use in skeletally mature patients in conjunction with supplemental internal fixation systems (e.g., ATLP, Ventrofix, TSLP, USS). The spacer interior may be packed with bone graft. The device is designed to maintain structural stability even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Commercially pure titanium. Form factor: Contoured vertebral body replacement spacer. Energy source: None (mechanical implant). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. Software: None. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - SYNTHES® SynMesh® Spacer System ([K003275](/device/K003275.md)) ## Reference Devices - ATLP - Ventrofix - TSLP - USS - Dual Opening USS - Small Stature USS - Click'X ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
