What is it indicated for?

The IdentiTi Porous Ti Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from T1 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and/or thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain) at one or two adjacent levels.

The IdentiTi Porous Ti Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from T1 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and/or thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain) at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

Additionally, the IdentiTi Porous Ti System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity.

The IdentiTi Porous Ti Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate and supplemental fixation systems that are cleared by FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine.

AMP™ Anti-Migration Plate may be used with IdentiTi LIF interbody spacers to provide integrated fixation. IdentiTi LIF spacers with >20° lordosis must be used with AMP Anti-Migration Plate in addition to supplemental fixation. IdentiTi ALIF interbody spacers with >20° lordosis must be used with an anterior plate as the form of supplemental fixation.

The IdentiTi Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from T1 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and/or thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain) at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

Additionally, the IdentiTi NanoTec Interbody System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity.

The IdentiTi NanoTec Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate and supplemental fixation systems that are cleared by FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine.

AMP™ Anti-Migration Plate may be used with IdentiTi NanoTec LIF interbody spacers to provide integrated fixation. IdentiTi NanoTec LIF spacers with >20° lordosis must be used with AMP Anti-Migration Plate in addition to supplemental fixation.

The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from L2 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis and/or spinal stenosis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels.

Additionally, the IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity. However, when used in these patients at multiple levels, and for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (>Grade 1) and spinal stenosis at one or two adjacent levels, the IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cortical, cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate.

The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of <20° are a standalone system. The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of >20° must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws.

The IdentiTi ALIF Standalone Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from L2 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis and/or spinal stenosis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels.

Additionally, the IdentiTi NanoTec ALIF Standalone Interbody System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity. However, when used in these patients at multiple levels, and for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (>Grade 1) and spinal stenosis at one or two adjacent levels, the IdentiTi Nanotec ALIF Standalone Interbody System must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws. The IdentiTi NanoTec ALIF Standalone Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate.

The IdentiTi NanoTec ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of <20° are a standalone system. The IdentiTi NanoTec ALIF Standalone Interbody System implants of >20° must be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated screws.

The Transcend PEEK Interbody System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from T1 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and/or thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain) at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.

Additionally, the Transcend PEEK Interbody System can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity.

The Transcend PEEK Interbody System is intended for use on patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. It is intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate and supplemental fixation systems that are cleared by FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine.

AMP™ Anti-Migration Plate may be used with Transcend LIF interbody spacers to provide integrated fixation. Transcend LIF spacers with >20° lordosis must be used with AMP Anti-Migration Plate in addition to supplemental fixation. Transcend ALIF interbody spacers with >20° lordosis must be used with an anterior plate as the form of supplemental fixation.

The Transcend PEEK Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is indicated for spinal fusion procedures from T1 to S1 in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD), degenerative spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and/or thoracic disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy with or without axial pain) at one or two adjacent levels.
