Read the full statement (110 words)
The Stable-C Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system. The Stable-C Interbody System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Stable-C Interbody System is to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for use in the cervical spine. The system is intended to be used with autogenous or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
