Interbody Device (IBD) Implants (i.e., interbody implants used alone):
The SeaSpine WaveForm A System Interbody is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the device is to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. The SeaSpine WaveForm A Interbody is intended for use with supplemental fixation. Degenerative disc disease is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment.
No-Profile Implants w/ Screws:
The SeaSpine WaveForm A System No-Profile Interbody, when used with Screws and a No-Profile Locking Cover, is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. Hyperlordotic sizes (25 and 30 degrees) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
No-Profile Implants w/ Inline Fixation Anchors:
The SeaSpine WaveForm A System No-Profile Interbody, when used with Inline Fixation Anchors and a No Profile Locking Cover, is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. The SeaSpine WaveForm A No-Profile Implants w/ Inline Fixation Anchors is intended for use with supplemental fixation.
TruProfile Interbody Implants:
The SeaSpine WaveForm A Interbody assembled with the Anterior Plate, when used with Screws and an Anterior Plate Locking Cover, is a standalone interbody implant indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. Hyperlordotic sizes (25 and 30 degrees) are intended for use with supplemental fixation.
