The FAVO S-TLIF Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The system is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion and supplemental internal spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracolumbar spine. The device is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment.
The FAVO S-TLIF Cage is intended for use in interbody fusions at one or two contiguous levels in the thoracic spine from T1 to T12 and at the thoracolumbar junction (T12-L1), following discectomy for the treatment of a symptomatic disc degeneration (DDD), including thoracic disc herniation (myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain).
The FAVO S-TLIF Cage is intended for use at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L1 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The FAVO S-TLIF Cage can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
