## Indications for use
ANAX™ OCT Spinal System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1 to C7) and the thoracic spine from T1-T3: traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity; failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical spine; and degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the facets with instability. ANAX™ OCT Spinal System is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, ANAX™ OCT Spinal System may be connected to Perfix™ Spinal Sytem and ANAX™ 5.5 Spinal System rods with the rod connectors. Transition rods with differing diameters may also be used to connect ANAX™ OCT Spinal System to Perfix™ Spinal System and ANAX™ 5.5 Spinal System.
