When used as acervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Zavation IBF implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients. Cervical IBF implants are intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, tram C2 to Ti, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (definded as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The cervical device is irntended to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Zavation IBF implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients. The lumbar IBF implants are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD isdefined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The lumbar device is intended to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment.
