The CASPIAN OCT/MESA Mini/ DENALI Mini Spinal System is intended to provide stabilization as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) when used with autograft or allograft and indicated for the following:
* DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies)
* Spondylolisthesis
* Spinal stenosis
* Fracture/dislocation
* Revision of previous cervical spine surgery
* Tumors
* Atlantoaxial fracture with instability
* Occipitocervical dislocation
The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only
The rod and hook components are intended for use in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine. The pedicle screws are limited to placement in the T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The pedicle screws are not intended to be placed in or treat conditions involving the cervical spine.
