The Huvex Interspinous Fixation System is a single-level, posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to the spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), and/or tumor. The Huvex Interspinous Fixation System is intended for use at one level, in conjunction with autogenous bone graft, and not intended for stand-alone use.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
