What It Is

The Depuy Conduit LLIF Squid Inserter is a specialized instrument designed for the insertion of liquid embolization agents during lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) procedures. It facilitates precise delivery of materials to the target site, aiding in the stabilization and support of spinal structures. This device is crucial for ensuring accurate placement and minimizing the risk of complications during spinal surgeries.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • The device is cleared under FDA 510(k) K220449 as a Class II device with product code MAX.
  • The supplied FDA indication is listed only as “Summary”; specific indications for use are not available in the provided record.

Clinical Applications

  • Use in connection with lateral lumbar interbody fusion procedures, as described by the device name and available record.
  • Use by trained orthopedic or neurosurgical personnel during lumbar spine surgery, according to the manufacturer’s labeling and surgical technique.

Practical Considerations

  • Confirm the exact FDA-cleared intended use in the complete 510(k) decision summary and current manufacturer instructions for use before clinical use.
  • This is a surgical instrument rather than an implant; it should be used only with the compatible LLIF system, implant, and delivery components specified by the manufacturer.
  • The supplied record does not identify available sizes, working dimensions, sterilization instructions, or compatibility with other systems.
  • MRI safety or conditional labeling is not established in the supplied information; do not assume the instrument is MRI safe.
  • Use requires appropriate training in LLIF technique, sterile handling, device inspection, and the manufacturer’s precautions and contraindications.
