FDA Product Code OQB: Intervertebral Body Graft Containment Device

Under FDA product code OQB, intervertebral body graft containment devices are cleared to retain bone graft material within the disc space during spinal fusion.

These mesh or cage structures are placed around bone graft to prevent migration of graft material out of the interbody space while the graft incorporates and fusion occurs. They are used in situations where conventional interbody cages cannot contain loose bone graft adequately.

OQB devices are Class II medical devices, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3085 and reviewed by the FDA Orthopedic panel.

Leading manufacturers include Spineology, Inc..
