Intended Use
The ELEVATE™ Spinal System Expandable Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for interbody fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These implants may be implanted via an open or a minimally invasive posterior approach. These implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The ELEVATE™ Spinal System consists of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with tantalum markers and titanium expandable cages of various length and heights, which can be surgically implanted between two lumbar or lumbarsacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar intervertebral body fusion. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. This system also includes stainless steel and silicone instruments used to facilitate the implantation of the subject cages. Finally, the subject system includes case, trays, and lids used to package, ship and can be used to sterilize the non-sterile instruments in the subject system. The case, trays, and lids are manufactured from aluminum with either silicone or nylon coated brackets.
