The ASTRA Spine System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The ASTRA Spine System is indicated for non-cervical (T)-S2/Ilium) pedicle fixation and non-pedicle fixation in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD - defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; trauma (i.e., fracture and/or dislocation); spinal stenosis; deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis); spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudo-arthrosis). When used in a percutaneous, posterior approach with AVANT Spine MIS instrumentation, the ASTRA Spine System is intended for non-cervical pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD - defined as discogenic back pain 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 . Levels of fixation are for the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the ASTRA Spine System implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat progressive spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis) including idiopathic scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis, and congenital scoliosis. Additionally, the ASTRA Spine System is intended to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with the following conditions: spondylolisthesis/spondylolysis, fracture caused by tumor and/or trauma, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. These devices are intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach. The ASTRA fenestrated screw when used with other components of the ASTRA Spine System is indicated to provide the surgeon with an open or minimally invasive approach for posterior spinal surgery. The ASTRA fenestrated screw is intended to be used with saline or radiopaque dye.

The ASTRA Spine System consists of Ø 5.5mm, Ø 6.0mm and Ø 6.2mm longitudinal, lordosed, contoured and revision rods, pedicle screws (monoaxial, and uniplanar), cannulated pedicle screws (standard and reduction monoaxial, standard, reduction & extended tab polyaxial and standard & reduction uniplanar), fenestrated screws (standard, reduction & extended tab standard & reduction uniplanar), hooks (standard & reduction), lateral iliac connectors, rod-to-rod connectors and transverse (cross) connectors. Most of the components are available in a variety of sizes to more closely match the patient's anatomy. The safety and effectiveness of the ASTRA fenestrated screw has not been established when used in conjunction with bone cement or for use in patients with poor bone quality (e.g.,osteoporosis, osteopenia). This device is intended only to be used with saline or radiopaque dye. Materials: Titanium alloy per ASTM F136 and CoCr alloy per ASTM F1537

The ORIO-Ti cervical intervertebral body fusion cage is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage. ORIO-Ti cervical intervertebral body fusion implants are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C-3 to C-7 disc levels using autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. ORIO-Ti cervical intervertebral body fusion implant is to be used with supplemental fixation that has been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The ORIO-Ti lumbar intervertebral body fusion cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in sketally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. ORIO-Ti lumbar intervertebral body fusion implants are to be used with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and implanted via a transforaminal, open posterior, anterior/anterolateral, or lateral approach. The ORIO-Ti lumbar intervertebral body fusion implants are to be used with supplemental fixation that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

The subject devices are intervertebral body fusion devices for use in cervical lumbar spinal surgery. They may also be referred to as interbody fusion devices or interbody cages. The devices are generally boxshaped or trapezoidal shaped with windows or pockets in their design to allow for the placement of autograft or allogenic bone graft. The ORIO-Ti Cage System is a Titanium alloy interbody fusion system comprised of various device configurations based on surgical approach and patient anatomy, and may be implanted via one of the following approaches: as a single device via an anterior cervical (ACDF), bilaterally in pairs via a posterior (PLIF) approach; as a single device via a transforaminal (TLIF) approach; or as a single device via an anterior (ALIF) approach. The exterior of the devices has "teeth" on the superior and inferior surfaces to help prevent the devices from migrating once they are implanted.

The ASTRA Spine System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic. lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudo-arthrosis). The ASTRA Spine System is also a sacral/iliac screw fixation system of the indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture and/or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis), tumor, and previous failed fusion (pseudo-arthrosis).
