FDA has cleared a K2M Group Holdings 510(k) for screw and connector components for a spine application used with its MESA Spinal System. The company says this clearance enables the screw and connector components to be used as a part of a growing rod construct designed to accommodate growth in patients under ten years of age. “With this growing spine application, surgeons can utilize components from a traditional fusion construct for a growth-enabling construction, allowing implants to be surgically lengthened on a periodic basis as the patient grows,” K2M says. It also offers a growth guidance option, combining standard instrumentation and placement of unlocked closed-head screws at non-fusion levels to allow for rod passage as the patient grows.
