## Intended Use

The Creaspine SupStance Small Vertebral Body Replacement System is a vertebral body replacement system intended to replace a vertebral body. The SupStance Small VBR System is designed for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1- L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body during tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture) management procedures. The SupStance Small VBR System is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems. Anterior thoracolumbar plates and screws or pedicle screw and rod systems are among the options for the surgeon to use. The use of allograft and/or autograft with the SupStance Small VBR System is optional.

## Device Story

Vertebral body replacement system; replaces collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral bodies in thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). Implant consists of hollow, trapezoidal PEEK cage with integral end caps; features serrated end caps for vertebral endplate fixation; available in various heights and sagittal angles (0°, 5°, 8°). Used by surgeons in clinical settings; implanted via anterior or costo-transverse approach. Requires supplemental internal fixation (e.g., plates/screws, rods). Optional use of allograft/autograft for fusion. Provides structural support to spinal column; aids in stabilization following tumor or trauma management.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per FDA guidance for spinal systems, including static and dynamic compression, static and dynamic torsion, and expulsion testing. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) with 6% BaSO4 contrast filler. Design: Hollow trapezoidal cage with integral end caps. Dimensions: 12mm and 16mm sizes; 18mm to 50mm heights. Sagittal angles: 0°, 5°, 8°. Fixation: Serrated end caps. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile.

## 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.

### Device Description

The Creaspine SupStance Small Vertebral Body Replacement System is a vertebral body replacement system intended to replace a vertebral body. The SupStance Small VBR System consists of the SupStance Small VBR implants and the instrumentation required for implantation of the device. The SupStance Small VBR implant is a cage composed of fused hollow trapezoidal tubes with open sides and integral end caps. The SupStance 

{1}------------------------------------------------

Small VBR cages are available in three sizes (12mm, and 16mm) and cover a range of heights from 18mm to 50mm.

Like the sides of the cages, the SupStance Small VBR end caps have large openings for introduction of allograft and/or autograft and evenly spaced round serrations for fixation to the vertebral endplates. The end caps have a various (total) sagittal angle of 0°, 5°, and 8° to accommodate spinal anatomy.

The SupStance Small VBR cages are fabricated from poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) with 6% BaSO4 contrast filler. The implants are provided non-sterile and may be implanted via an anterior approach or a costo-tranverse approach.

#### Intended Use

The Creaspine SupStance Small Vertebral Body Replacement System is a vertebral body replacement system intended to replace a vertebral body. The SupStance Small VBR System is designed for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1- L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body during tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture) management procedures. The SupStance Small VBR System is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems. Anterior thoracolumbar plates and screws or pedicle screw and rod systems are among the options for the surgeon to use.

The use of allograft and/or autograft with the SupStance Small VBR System is optional.

### Statement of Technological Comparison

The subject components share the same intended use, basic design concepts, and materials as that of the predicate devices. Performance testing included the types of mechanical testing recommended for vertebral body replacement systems (static and dynamic compression testing, static and dynamic torsion testing, and expulsion testing) in the "FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Spinal System 510(k)s" (issued May 3, The data collected confirms that the mechanical properties of the proposed 2004). SupStance Small VBR System are comparable to those of the predicate devices. The information and data collected support a claim of substantial equivalence for the proposed SupStance Small VBR System to the specified predicate devices.
