Read the full statement (128 words)
The Oracle Spacer is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised during partial and total vertebrectomy procedures for the treatment of tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture), to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of the collapsed vertebral body. The Oracle Spacer is intended to be used with Synthes internal fixation systems, e.g., Pangea, USS (including Click'X), Small Stature USS, ATLP, TSLP, and Ventrofix. The interior of the spacer can be packed with bone (autograft or allograft).
The Oracle Spacer is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
