Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma). ## Device Story Vertaplex HV is a Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. It is injected directly into fractured vertebral bodies during vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain. The device is used in clinical settings by physicians. It functions as a structural filler to fix pathological fractures caused by conditions such as osteoporosis or lesions. The output is the hardened cement providing mechanical fixation of the vertebral body. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics PMMA bone cement. Radiopaque. Designed for injection into vertebral bodies. Chemical composition identical to predicate device. ## Regulatory Identification Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.” ## Predicate Devices - Stryker Vertaplex Radiopaque Bone Cement ([K072118](/device/K072118.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

painful vertebral fractures based on the predicate device Stryker Vertaplex
PMMA Radiopaque Bone Cement (Vertaplex). Vertaplex HV can be injected
directly into the fractured vertebral body by either Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty
procedures to relieve pain. | | Indications for Use: | Vertaplex HV Radiopaque Bone Cement is indicated for the fixation of
pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty
procedures.
Painful vertebral compression fractures may result
from
osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic
cancers, myeloma). | | Substantial Equivalence
(SE) Rational: | Stryker Vertaplex HV is composed of the same chemical components as Stryker
Vertaplex PPMA Bone Cement and is equivalent in performance. | | Safety and Effectiveness: | Stryker Vertaplex HV is substantially equivalent in design, materials, intended
use and performance to the predicate device, Stryker Vertaplex PMMA Bone
Cement (K072118). Testing shows that the device meets similar performance
specifications as those for the predicate device. No new types of issues of
safety or effectiveness are introduced by using this device. | | Submitted by: | Becky E. Ditty
