CD Horizon Fenestrated Screw Set
When used without cement, CD Horizon TM Fenestrated Screws (with or without Sextant ™ or Longitude TM instrumentation) are intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DOD defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, tumor and/or trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis), pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion.
Additionally, CD Horizon ™ Fenestrated Screws may be used for immobilization and stabilization when used for trauma (e.g., fracture or dislocation) with the usage of bone graft material left to the surgeon's discretion.
When used in conjunction with Kyphon ™ HV-R ™ Bone Cement or Medtronic HV-R ™ Fenestrated Screw Cement or Kyphon TM Xpede TM Bone Cement, CD Horizon TM Fenestrated Screws are intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. CD Horizon TM Fenestrated Screws augmented with Kyphon ™ HV-R ™ Bone Cement or Medtronic HV-R ™ Fenestrated Screw Cement or Kyphon TM Xpede TM Bone Cement are for use at spinal levels where the structural integrity of the spine is not severely compromised.
CD Horizon Spinal System
The CD Horizon TM Spinal System with or without Sextant ™ instrumentation is intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DOD - defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis), tumor, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion.
Except for hooks, when used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system, the CD Horizon TM Spinal System titanium, cobalt chrome, and stainless steel implants may also be used for the same indications as an adjunct to fusion.
With the exception of DOD, CD Horizon ™ Legacy ™ 3.5mm rods and associated components may be used for indications in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion. The 3.5mm rods may be used for the specific pediatric indications noted.
When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, CD Horizon TM Spinal System titanium, cobalt chrome, and stainless steel implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat progressive spinal deformities (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis) including idiopathic scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis, and congenital scoliosis. Additionally, the CD Horizon ™ Spinal System is intended to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with the following conditions: spondylolisthesis/ spondylolysis, fracture caused by tumor and/or trauma, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. These devices are to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.
The CD Horizon TM PEEK rods are intended to provide posterior supplemental fixation when used with an interbody fusion cage for patients diagnosed with DOD. These DOD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level. This device Is intended for 1-2 level use in the lumbosacral spine (L2 — S1) in skeletally mature patients. Devices are intended for use with an interbody fusion cage at the instrumented level and is not intended for stand-alone use.
The CD Horizon™ Spire™ plate is a posterior, single-level, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fixation in the following conditions: DDD, spondylolisthesis, trauma, and/or tumor.
To achieve additional levels of fixation, CD Horizon™ Spinal System rods may be connected to the Vertex™ Reconstruction System with the Vertex™ rod connector. Refer to the Vertex™ Reconstruction System package insert for a list of Vertex™ indications.
