Overview

AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate (35mm, 40mm) is a one-piece, bilateral locking plate designed for posterior non-cervical spine fixation. It attaches to adjacent spinous processes to provide supplemental stabilization, typically at a single level from T1 to S1, without requiring pedicle engagement.

This device is intended for surgical use in the operating room and is supplied as a sterile, single-use implant. It is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations and has received 510(k) clearance. The plate is available in two widths (35mm and 40mm) and is secured via locking mechanisms to ensure stability. Storage and handling must comply with sterile surgical instrument protocols.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the primary purpose of the UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate, and where is it used in the body?

    The UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate is designed for posterior non-cervical spine fixation, specifically to provide supplemental stabilization at a single level from the first thoracic vertebra (T1) down to the sacrum (S1). It attaches to adjacent spinous processes—bony projections at the back of the vertebrae—without requiring engagement with the pedicles, making it suitable for procedures where pedicle screws may not be ideal.

  • How is the UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate supplied, and is it reusable?

    The UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate is supplied as a sterile, single-use implant, meaning it is intended for one-time surgical use only. Reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer, as sterility and performance may be compromised after a single application.

  • What are the available sizes for the UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate, and how does this affect its application?

    The UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate is available in two widths: 35mm and 40mm. The width determines the spacing between the spinous processes it can secure, allowing surgeons to select the appropriate size based on the patient’s anatomy and the specific surgical requirements for stabilization.

  • How should the UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate be stored, and what precautions should be taken?

    The plate must be stored and handled according to sterile surgical instrument protocols to maintain its sterility. Since it is intended for single-use in the operating room, it should be kept in its original packaging until immediately before use, protected from contamination, moisture, and physical damage.

  • What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate?

    The UniVise Spinous Process Fixation Plate received FDA 510(k) clearance through a traditional review process, determined to be *substantially equivalent* to a legally marketed predicate device. The clearance was granted under the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee and classified as a Class II medical device, reflecting its moderate risk level.
