The EXPEDIUM, VIPER, and VIPER2 Spine Systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. The EXPEDIUM, VIPER, and VIPER2 Spine System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. When used in a posterior percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation, the VIPER System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 System metallic implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 systems are intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

The EXPEDIUM® and VIPER® and VIPER® 2 Spine Systems consist of titanium rods, pedicle screws, connectors, hooks, and extended tab implants, which are terminally sterilized via gamma radiation. Previously, these devices were commercialized as clean, non-sterile, and the end-user would need to sterilize the units prior to use via steam sterilization. Certain implants will be packaged in sterile multi-packs for customer convenience.

The EXPEDIUM Spine System is a 5.5mm rod-based and platebased system offered in both titanium and stainless steel. The system consists of monoaxial screws, polyaxial screws, uni-planar screws, reduction screws, reduction hooks, hooks, extended tab implants, sacral extenders, lateral connectors, washers, fixed bolts, polyaxial bolts, closed screws, slotted connectors, plates, nuts, washers, drop-entry connectors, modular cross connectors, transverse rod connectors, and wires. The proposed addition to the EXPEDIUM 5.5mm Spine System is an increased favored angle polyaxial screw. The polyaxial screw head opens posteriorly for placement of a rod which is secured to a screw by either a dual inner or unitized set screw. This additional component is available in various geometries and sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. It will be provided non-sterile.

The Vertebroplastic™ Radiopaque Bone Cement is indicated for the treatment, using vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures, of pathological fractures of the vertebral body caused by osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), or malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).

Vertebroplastic™ Radiopaque Bone Cement is a self-curing, radiopaque, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement, for filling of spinal vertebral body defects resulting from compression fracture, in order to provide stabilization of the collapsed vertebral body and pain relief. The following modifications are being made: Change to the formulation of the bone cement liquid component.
