## Indications for use
When used as a vertebral body replacement, the TASMIN® R devices are indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The device is intended for use as a vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (from Ti to L5) and is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. When used as an intervertebral fusion device, the TASMINO R devices are intended for use at one level in the lumbar spine, from L2 to Si, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The lumbar device is to be used in patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The devices are intended for use with a supplemental internal fixation system and with autograft to facilitate fusion.
