Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
The Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are 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 Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation. The Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Non-operative treatment prior to treatment with Talos®-C Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices is six (6) weeks. Talos®-C Cervical IBF Devices are to be implemented via an open anterior approach approach.
Talos®-C Cervical IBF Devices are also to be used with supplemental fixation. Additionally, the use of Hyperlordotic devices (lordotic angle greater than 7°) are intended to be used exclusively with anterior supplemental fixation.
