It is for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body or vertebra resected or excised during total and partial corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). For both corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures, VLIFT®-s system is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems. The supplemental internal fixation systems that may be used with VLIFT®-s system include, but are not limited to, Stryker Spine plate or rod systems (e.g., Xia® Spinal System, Radius® Spinal System, Mantis® Percutaneous Spinal System, Thor® Plating System, Trio®+Spinal System). The use of bone graft with VLIFT®-s system is optional. ## Device Story VLIFT®-s is a distractible in-situ (DIS) vertebral body replacement system; consists of a single, pre-assembled, hollow cylindrical cage; adjustable via inner concentric ring; allows for optional bone graft packing. Modular end caps with serrated teeth anchor to vertebral end plates; available in various diameters, heights, and angles. Optional extension pieces used to achieve desired height. Device implanted by surgeons in clinical settings during spinal procedures; provides structural support to replace resected/excised vertebral bodies; requires supplemental internal fixation (e.g., plates or rods) to stabilize the construct. Benefits include restoration of spinal column height and stability following trauma or tumor resection. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing demonstrating compliance with FDA's Guidance for Spinal System 510(k)s. ## Technological Characteristics Distractible in-situ (DIS) cage; hollow cylindrical design; modular end caps; optional extension pieces. Mechanical fixation via serrated teeth. Materials and design consistent with predicate spinal intervertebral body fixation orthoses. No software or energy source. ## 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 - Stryker Spine VLIFT® Vertebral Body Replacement System ([K060506](/device/K060506.md)) - DePuy X-MESHTM Expandable Cage System ([K080568](/device/K080568.md)) - Synthes Spine Synex TM II Spacer ([K061891](/device/K061891.md)) - Surgical Dynamics™ Mesh Cage System ([K003709](/device/K003709.md)) - DePuy AcroMed Surgical Titanium Mesh™ ([K003043](/device/K003043.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Product Code MQP, Class II | | Device Description | The VLIFT®-s Distractible In-situ (DIS) Vertebral Body Replacement
system is intended for use as an aid in spinal fusion and consists of a
single, pre-assembled distractible implant. The hollow cylindrical
center may be adjusted continuously via an inner concentric ring. The
hollow core of the cage allows for packing bone graft. The use of bone
graft with VLIFT®-s is optional. As the implant is distracted via its
inner concentric ring, additional, slotted openings appear.

The VLIFT®-s cages are available in various diameters and heights. | | | Modular end caps snap into each end of the VLIFT®-s implant. | | | Serrated teeth at the rim of the end cap attachments help to anchor the | | | implant to the end plates of the vertebral bodies. The VLIFT®-s end | | | caps are available in both flush and contoured designs and are offered | | | in a variety of angles. | | | | | | Extension pieces are available for each diameter for the VLIFT®-s | | | implants. Extension pieces may be used to achieve the desired height. | | | The use of extension pieces is optional. | | Intended Use | The VLIFT®-s system is a device intended to replace a vertebral body | | | or an entire vertebra. It is for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) | | | to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body or vertebra | | | resected or excised during total and partial corpectomy and | | | vertebrectomy procedures due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). | | | | | | For both corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures, VLIFT®-s system | | | is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems.
