Indications for Use
The T2 ALTITUDE™ Expandable Corpectomy System is a vertebral body replacement system intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The T2 ALTITUDE™ Expandable Corpectomy Centerpiece may be used with or without optional modular endcaps which accommodate individual anatomic requirements. The device is to be used with supplemental fixation. Specifically, the construct is to be used with the VANTAGE® Anterior Fixation System, the TSRH® Spinal System, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, or their successors. Additionally, the T2 ALTITUDE™ Expandable Corpectomy System is intended to be used with allograft and/or autograft.
Device Story
T2 ALTITUDE™ Expandable Corpectomy System is a distractible vertebral body replacement device; implanted in thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace damaged/unstable vertebrae. System comprises expandable centerpiece and optional modular endcaps; constructed from titanium alloy, cobalt chrome, and nitinol. Implanted via lateral, posterior, or anterior surgical approaches; used in conjunction with supplemental fixation systems (VANTAGE®, TSRH®, CD HORIZON®) and bone graft (allograft/autograft). Device provides structural support and stabilization; not intended as standalone construct. Used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings to restore spinal column integrity following tumor resection or traumatic fracture.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Expandable corpectomy system; materials include titanium alloy, cobalt chrome, and nitinol. Modular design with variable diameters and heights. Requires supplemental fixation. Non-implantable software/electronics; mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral bodies in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) resulting from tumor or trauma (fracture). Requires use with supplemental fixation and bone graft (allograft/autograft).
Regulatory Classification
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.
