Intended Use
When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the system is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous nonfusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. The device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and supplemental fixation.
Device Description
The SeaSpine Skipjack System is an intervertebral fusion device with large central graft windows which are packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft, composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone prior to implantation. The spacers are manufactured from Titanium Alloy per ASTM F136 and consist of two different options: an adjustable, expanding spacer and an adjustable, lordotic angle option. All implants and instruments are provided non-sterile in system-specific travs and are to be sterilized by the end user. The instruments included with the system facilitate the placement and adjustment of the interbody spacer, and removal if necessary.
