TOPS 2 - 38 M
The TOPS™ device is a motion preserving spinal implant that is inserted into the lumbar spine via pedicle screws. The device is implanted via a posterior surgical approach to replace the degenerated skeletal elements such as the lamina and the facet joints that are removed during the decompression.
Details
Device typePosterior lumbar spine prosthesis: A sterile implantable device designed to replace anatomical structures removed from the posterior aspect of lumbar vertebrae (i.e., the lamina, facet joint, and bony elements) during spinal decompression surgery to provide stability to, and enable normal range of motion of, the lumbar spine. It consists of a two-plate unit positioned in the posterior midline, which connects horizontal rods that are attached laterally to adjacent vertebrae with pedicle screws; the plates include interlocking trunnions for rotational/angular motion. The device may be a single unit or modular assembled during implantation. Dedicated tools for implantation are included.
