Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of dental procedures is the Surgical Vitex intended to support or augment?
The Surgical Vitex is designed for dental applications where subperiosteal placement is required to support or augment dental structures. This includes procedures where the implant is positioned beneath the periosteum to provide structural reinforcement or enhancement, such as in cases of bone loss or reconstruction.
Is the Surgical Vitex available in reusable or single-use versions, and how does that relate to its mesh size?
The Surgical Vitex is supplied as either reusable or single-use, depending on its mesh size. Implants with a mesh size of 20-40 are typically reusable, while those with a mesh size of 40-60 are intended for single-use. This distinction is likely due to material durability and sterility considerations.
What storage and handling requirements apply to the Surgical Vitex, and why?
The Surgical Vitex must be stored and handled under sterile or aseptic protocols, as it is a surgical implant. This is a standard requirement for all implants to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety during dental procedures.
What is the regulatory pathway for the Surgical Vitex, and how was its classification determined?
The Surgical Vitex follows the FDA’s 510(k) clearance pathway, specifically under the Traditional review type, and was determined to be *substantially equivalent* to a predicate device. It is classified as a Class II medical device and falls under the Dental advisory committee (DE) category, with a product code of ELE.
Are there different models or sizes of the Surgical Vitex, and how might a clinician choose between them?
The Surgical Vitex comes in varying mesh sizes (20-40 or 40-60), which influence whether it is reusable or single-use. Clinicians would select the appropriate mesh size based on the specific surgical requirements, patient anatomy, and whether the implant will be reused or discarded after a single procedure.
