The PhantomTM Plus Cages- Lumbar are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with

autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous

levels from L2 to SI.

DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and

radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved

level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six (6) months of nonoperative therapy.

The PhantomTM Plus Cage System- Lumbar is to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. The

PhantomTM Plus Cages- Lumbar are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems, such as

Preference Pedicle Screw System.

PhantorrTm Plus Cages-Cervical are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc

disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level.

DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and

radiographic studies. PhantomTMm Plus Cages-Cervical are used to facilitate int'ervertebral body fusion in the

cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone.
