SANTORINI Corpectomy Cages are vertebral body replacement devices intended for use in the cervical and thoracolumbar spine. When used in the cervical spine (C2-T1), SANTORINI cages are intended for use in skeletally mature patients to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor, fracture, or osteomyelitis, or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues in cervical degenerative disorders. These cages are intended to restore integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. When used in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5), SANTORINI cages are intended for use to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor and trauma (i.e. fracture). These cages are designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The interior of the cages can be packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprising cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion. When used in the thoracolumbar spine, the Santorini Corpectomy cages are intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation appropriate for the implanted level, including K2M Pedicle Screw and Hook Systems, and K2M Spinal Plate Systems. When used in the cervical spine at one or two levels, the SANTORINI Corpectomy Cage System is intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine. When used at more than two levels, supplemental fixation should include posterior fixation which is cleared by the FDA CAPRI Corpectomy Cages are vertebral body replacement devices intended for use in the cervical and thoracolumbar spine. When used in the cervical spine (C2-T1). CAPRI Static cages are intended for use in skeletally mature patients to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor, fracture, or osteomyelitis, or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues in cervical degenerative disorders. These cages are intended to restore integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. When used in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5), CAPRI Static and Expandable cages are intended for use to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor and trauma (i.e. fracture). These cages are designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period.

The SANTORINI and CAPRI Corpectomy System implants are vertebral body replacement devices that are designed in a variety of lengths, widths and heights to match the patient's anatomy. Solid and adjustable cages are available and can be implanted via posterior, anterior or lateral approaches. The implants of the CAPRI Corpectomy Cage Systems are manufactured from Titanium (per ASTM F3001) and Cobalt Chrome (per ASTM F1537). The SANTORINI implants are made from PEEK OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026) and tantalum (ASTM 560), with some components containing CP titanium (ASTM F67). The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications to include the cervical spine. Function: The system is used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following a corpectomy or vertebrectomy.
