What is it indicated for?
The DEXA-C Cervical Interbody System is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous levels from C2-T1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with the degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation and autograft and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or cortico-cancellous bone to facilitate fusion and is to be implanted via an open, anterior approach.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
