The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of traumatic, fragility, pathological, and impending pathological fractures of the humerus, radius, ulvis, fibula, metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges. The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System can also be used in conjunction with FDA-cleared fracture fixation systems to provide supplemental fixation in thes. The IlluminOss System may be used in the femur and tibia to provide supplemental fixation to an anatomically appropriate FDA-cleared fracture fixation system.

The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System provides an important treatment option in the fixation and stabilization of fractures through a minimally invasive procedure. The system uses a catheter to deploy an inflatable, noncompliant, thin wall PET balloon into the medullary canal of the bone across the fracture site. The balloon is infused using a syringe with a photodynamic (light cured) monomer that causes the balloon to slowly expand and fill the intramedullary canal of the fractured bone. Activation of the light system allows for visible spectrum light to be delivered through a radially emitting light fiber that is temporarily positioned into a central lumen of the catheter that runs the length of the balloon. With this design, the liquid monomer within the balloon is exposed to light along the entire length of the balloon during the curing process.

The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of traumatic, fragility, pathological, and impending pathological fractures of the humerus, radius, ulna, clavicle, pelvis, fibula, metacarpals, and phalanges.

The system is currently indicated for use in the humerus, radius, ulna, clavicle, metacarpal, metatarsal, phalanges, ulna, fibula, and anterior ring of the pelvis. The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to expand the indications of the IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS) to include use in the femur and tibia in conjunction with FDA-cleared fracture fixation systems.

The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System provides an important treatment option in the fixation and stabilization of fractures through a minimally invasive procedure. The system uses a catheter to deploy an inflatable, noncompliant, thin wall PET balloon into the medullary canal of the bone across the fracture site. The balloon is infused using a standard 20cc syringe with a photodynamic (light cured) monomer that causes the balloon to slowly expand and fill the intramedullary canal of the fractured bone. Activation of the light system allows for visible spectrum light to be delivered through a radially emitting light pipe that is temporarily positioned into a central lumen of the catheter that runs the length of the balloon. With this design, the liquid monomer within the balloon is exposed to light along the entire length of the balloon during the curing process. The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add smaller, intermediate, and larger sizes of the implant, an intermediate size of the Sheath/Dilator Set, and a smaller size of the Delivery Set.

The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS) is indicated for skeletally mature patients in the treatment of impending and actual pathological fractures of the humerus, radius, and ulna, from metastatic bone disease.

The IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS) is intended to be used in the fixation and stabilization of actual and impending pathological fractures of the humerus, radius, and ulna through a minimally invasive procedure. The system uses a catheter to deploy an inflatable, noncompliant, thin wall PET balloon into the medullary canal of the bone across the fracture site. The balloon is infused using a standard 20cc syringe with a photodynamic (light cured) monomer that causes the balloon to slowly expand and fill the intramedullary canal of the fractured bone. Activation of the light system allows for visible spectrum light to be delivered through a radially emitting light pipe that is temporarily positioned within a central lumen of the catheter that runs the length of the balloon. The liquid monomer within the balloon is exposed to light along the entire length of the balloon during the curing process. Curing (and hardening) occurs only when the photo initiator within the monomer is exposed to a specific frequency of light causing rapid polymerization of the monomer resulting in a solid intramedullary (IM) rod. The time to cure the IM rod depends on the size of the balloon used to stabilize the fracture. A Timer Kev, included within each balloon catheter kit, determines the time the light source is activated during the curing process to ensure the appropriate cure time is used for each balloon size.
