Read the full statement (135 words)
The Gecko Spinal System is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications:
1. Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques;
2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis;
3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions.
The Gecko Spinal System may also be used in conjunction with other Ortho Development’s spinal rod systems made of similar metals whenever “wiring” may help secure the attachment of the other implants.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
