The OptiMesh® 1500 meshes are designed to contain granular bone graft, autograft (patient’s own) or allograft (bone bank). By containing granular graft materials in an OptiMesh 1500, physicians have the ability to deliver a tightly compacted graft into the spine using minimally invasive surgical techniques. 

Features:

  • Constructed of strong multi-strand Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) thread
  • Deployable for minimally invasive implantation
  • Radiolucent for ease of post-op graft imaging
  • Strong in tension for graft compaction
  • 1500 micron nominal pore size (1.5mm) and high surface porosity enable incorporation of graft
  • Thin PET threads and granular pack conform to host bone bed to enable healing and incorporation of graft
  • Mesh does not stress shield graft pack
  • Supplied on a metal tip to ease intraoperative handling
  • Two implant configurations for lateral or anterior/posterior surgical approaches 

 

 

OptiMesh 1500 Series Product Labeling

Indications for use:

OptiMesh is intended to maintain the relative position of bone graft material (such as autograft or allograft) within a vertebral body defect (e.g. tumor) that does not impact the stability of the vertebral body and does not include the vertebral endplates.

The safety and effectiveness of this device used for fusion of the interbody space has not been established.

Contraindication:

Do not use this device in patients with instability (e.g. resected or collapsed vertebral bodies or fracture of the anterior column). This device does not provide structural support.
