## Indications for use
The Vu c-POD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2-C3 to C7-TI. Cervical degenerative disc disease is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history of radiographic studies. The Vu c-POD implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. The cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Vu c-POD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation systems, such as the Theken Spine Manta Ray or the Theken Spine Tether systems.
