## Indications for use
The Vertera Spine™ Cohere® Cervical Interbody Fusion Device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The Vertera Spine Cohere Cervical Interbody Fusion Device 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
