SeaSpine Meridian System
Interbody Device (IBD) Implants (i.e., interbody implants used alone):
The SeaSpine Meridian System interbody is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the device is to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft, composed of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone. The SeaSpine Meridian Interbody is intended for use with supplemental fixation. Degenerative disc disease is defined as back pain of discogenic origin, with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment.
No-Profile Implants w/ Screws:
The SeaSpine Meridian System No-Profile Interbody, when used with Screws and a No-Profile Locking Cover, is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level. The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft, composed of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. Hyperlordotic sizes (25 and 30 degrees) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
No-Profile Implants w/ Inline Fixation Anchors:
The SeaSpine Meridian System No-Profile Interbody, when used with Inline Fixation Anchors and a No-Profile Locking Cover, is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level. The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft, composed of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. The SeaSpine Meridian No-Profile Implants w/ Inline Fixation Anchors is intended for use with supplemental fixation.
TruProfile Interbody Implants:
The SeaSpine Meridian System Interbody assembled with the Anterior Plate, when used with Screws and a Anterior Plate Locking Cover, is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level. The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft, composed of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. Hyperlordotic sizes (25 and 30 degrees) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
SeaSpine Regatta Lateral System
Interbody Device (IBD) Implants (i.e., interbody implants used alone):
The SeaSpine Regatta Lateral System is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD, defined as back pain of discogenic origin, with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). It is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of DDD with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the interbody spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft material composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device.
The SeaSpine Regatta Lateral System is intended for use with supplemental fixation.
TruProfile Interbody Implants:
The SeaSpine Regatta Lateral System assembled with the TruProfile Lateral Plate, when used with Screws, is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1.
