Intended Use

The Cure™ Lumbar Plate System is intended for use via a lateral or anterolateral surgical approach above the bifurcation of the great vessels in the treatment of thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability or via the anterior surgical approach, below the bifurcation of the great vesses in the treatment of lumbosacral (L1-S1) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), scoliosis, lordosis, spinal stenosis, or a failed previous spine surgery. The device is intended as a temporary fixation device until fusion is achieved.

Device Story

Cure™ Lumbar Plate System is a spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis; consists of titanium plates and bone screws; used for temporary stabilization of thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbosacral spine. Implanted by surgeons via lateral, anterolateral, or anterior surgical approaches. Features central locking mechanism to secure bone screws. Provides mechanical support to spine segments until fusion occurs. Benefits patients by stabilizing unstable spinal segments resulting from trauma, degeneration, or deformity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F1717 to evaluate static compression bending, static torsion, and dynamic compression bending. Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) performed per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from Grade 23 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. System includes plates of various sizes and screws of various lengths/diameters. Features a central locking mechanism for screw retention. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F1717 testing.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring stabilization of the thoracic, thoracolumbar, or lumbosacral spine (T1-S1) due to fracture, tumor, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, lordosis, spinal stenosis, or failed previous surgery. Intended for temporary fixation until fusion is achieved.

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.
