What is it indicated for?
The NuVasive Modulus-C Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The Modulus-C Interbody System is intended for use for anterior cervical interbody fusion in patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI), that results in radiculopathy, myelopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 - T1. The System is intended to be used with supplemental fixation. The System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
