Product code MAX
Overview
The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is a spinal interbody fusion device classified as an intervertebral body fusion implant. Constructed from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) meeting ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 standards, it is designed to replace unstable or diseased vertebral bodies in the thoracolumbar spine (T1–L5), restoring structural integrity and facilitating spinal stabilization.
This system is intended for single-use in skeletally mature patients undergoing intervertebral body fusion procedures. Supplied sterile and packaged for surgical use, it requires no additional sterilization. The device is MRI-unsafe and available in multiple sizes to accommodate varying anatomical and pathological conditions. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K120918), it adheres to traditional review standards for orthopedic implants.

Questions
What types of spinal conditions is the NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System designed to address in the thoracolumbar region?
The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is specifically designed to replace unstable or diseased vertebral bodies in the thoracolumbar spine, spanning from T1 to L5. It is intended to restore structural integrity and provide spinal stabilization through intervertebral body fusion, addressing degenerative or pathological conditions that compromise vertebral stability in this region.
Is the NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System reusable, or is it meant for single-use only?
The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is explicitly intended for single-use only in surgical procedures. It is supplied sterile and packaged for one-time use, eliminating the need for additional sterilization before implantation. This design ensures patient safety and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
What materials is the device made from, and how does this affect its compatibility with MRI scans?
The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is constructed from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), meeting ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 standards. Due to its metallic composition, the device is MRI-unsafe, meaning it cannot be used in patients who require MRI imaging post-surgery without risking image distortion or potential injury.
How many sizes does the NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System come in, and why is this important for surgical planning?
The system is available in multiple sizes to accommodate varying anatomical and pathological conditions in the thoracolumbar spine. This modularity allows surgeons to select the appropriate implant dimensions for precise fit and optimal stabilization, improving outcomes by reducing the risk of improper sizing or graft migration.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System, and what does this mean for its clinical use?
The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System received FDA 510(k) clearance (K120918) under the Traditional Review pathway, with a determination of Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. This means the FDA evaluated it against an existing orthopedic implant standard and confirmed it meets safety and effectiveness requirements for its intended use in spinal fusion procedures, ensuring compliance with U.S. regulatory standards.
