## Intended Use

The Cimplicity System is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised (i.e. partial or total vertebrectomy) due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The Cimplicity device is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (from T1 to L5) and is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. These devices are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. These devices are intended to be used with autograft or allograft bone. When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the Cimplicity System is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. Cervical disc disease is defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation on posterior vertebral endplates producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression confirmed by radiographic studies. Cimplicity implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with a Cimplicity interbody fusion device.

## Device Story

Cimplicity Spinal System is a rectangular, hollow implant available in parallel or lordotic configurations; features superior/inferior surface teeth for stability. Used in thoracolumbar spine for vertebral body replacement or cervical spine for interbody fusion. Implanted by surgeons via open, anterior approach; requires supplemental internal fixation. Hollow design accommodates autograft or allograft bone to facilitate fusion. Restores biomechanical integrity of spinal column. Benefits patients by stabilizing spine following resection/excision due to tumor/trauma or treating symptomatic cervical disc disease.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Rectangular, hollow implant; parallel or lordotic configurations; superior/inferior surface teeth for fixation. Materials accommodate autograft/allograft bone. Mechanical testing performed to verify performance.

## 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

Cimplicity is a rectangular shaped implant, which is available in a parallel or lordotic configuration of various heights. Cimplicity is hollow to allow for the placement of allograft or autograft bone. There vare teeth on the superior and inferior surface of the device to provide increased stability and inhibit movement of the implant.
