The Mecta-C intervertebral body fusion device is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The device systems are designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. One device may be used per intervertebral space. The implants are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation.
The Mecta-C device is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C2-T1, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies). The cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the device.
