What is it indicated for?
Tiger® Occipital-Cervical-Thoracic Spinal Fixation System is intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3). The system is intended to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion using autograft and allograft for the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (DDD): defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic…
Read the full statement (154 words)
Tiger® Occipital-Cervical-Thoracic Spinal Fixation System is intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3). The system is intended to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion using autograft and allograft for the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (DDD): defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies: spondylolisthesis; spinal stenosis; fracture/dislocation; atlanto/axial fracture with instability; occipitocervical dislocation; revision of previous cervical spine surgery; and tumor.
The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. Hook components are indicated for use from C1-C7. The use of polyaxial screws is limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3). They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine.
The Tiger® Occipital-Cervical-Thoracic Spinal Fixation System can be connected to the Tiger® Spine System using the side by side and end to end rod to rod connectors.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
