## Intended Use

The Quantum Vertebral Body Replacement is intended for use in the thoracic and/or thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial or total vertebrectomy procedures) due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). The interior of the spacer can be packed with allograft or autograft.

## Device Story

Quantum Vertebral Body Replacement is a box-shaped spinal implant; features exterior teeth to prevent migration; available in multiple sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. Constructed from titanium or PEEK. Implanted during partial or total vertebrectomy procedures in thoracic/thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). Requires use with supplemental spinal fixation systems (e.g., posterior pedicle screw/rod, anterior plate/screw systems). Interior space allows packing with allograft or autograft. Used by surgeons to restore spinal stability following tumor resection or traumatic fracture.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing indicates the device is capable of performing in accordance with its intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Box-shaped vertebral body replacement; materials: titanium or PEEK; exterior surface features teeth for fixation; available in multiple sizes; intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems; interior cavity for bone graft packing.

## 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.
