Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the SeaSpine Spinous Process System used for?
The SeaSpine Spinous Process System is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended to create spacing between adjacent spinous processes in the non-cervical spine (from T1 to S1). This promotes bone fusion and helps limit spinal extension, supporting spinal stability during the healing process. It is specifically designed for single-level use in orthopedic surgical settings.
How is the SeaSpine Spinous Process System supplied and prepared for use?
The system is supplied as a sterile, single-use device. This ensures sterility and reduces the risk of infection, as it is not intended for reuse. Proper handling and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are required to maintain sterility before and during surgical procedures.
Is the SeaSpine Spinous Process System reusable or single-use?
The SeaSpine Spinous Process System is explicitly designed for single-use only. This classification aligns with FDA 510(k) clearance (K173334) and manufacturer recommendations to ensure patient safety and sterility. Reuse is not permitted.
What spinal levels does the SeaSpine Spinous Process System target?
The device is intended for use in the non-cervical spine, spanning from the first thoracic vertebra (T1) to the first sacral vertebra (S1). It is not designed for cervical spine applications or multi-level procedures.
How should the SeaSpine Spinous Process System be stored?
The SeaSpine Spinous Process System must be stored according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve sterility and functionality. This typically includes keeping the packaging intact, storing in a clean, dry environment, and avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture. Always refer to the provided instructions for precise storage instructions.
