## Indications for use
The IdentiTi Cervical Porous Ti Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature 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 IdentiTi Cervical Porous Ti Interbody System is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems. The system is designed for use with autograft, allograft comprised of cortical, cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone graft, demineralized allograft with bone marrow aspirate, or a combination thereof. The IdentiTi Cervical Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature 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 IdentiTi NanoTec Cervical Interbody System is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems. The system is designed for use with autograft, allograft comprised of cortical, cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone graft, demineralized allograft with bone marrow aspirate, or a combination thereof. The Transcend Cervical PEEK Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for use in skeletally mature 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 Transcend Cervical PEEK Interbody System is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems. The system is designed for use with autograft, allograft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, demineralized allograft with bone marrow aspirate, or a combination thereof. The Transcend Cervical PEEK Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for use in skeletally mature 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 Transcend NanoTec Cervical Interbody System is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems. The system is designed for use with autograft, allograft comprised of cortical, cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, demineralized allograft with bone marrow aspirate, or a combination thereof. The IdentiTi Cervical Standalone Interbody System is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for use in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of cervical 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 IdentiTi Cervical Standalone Interbody System is intended to be used with autograft, allograft comprised of cortical, cancellous, and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft, demineralized allograft with bone marrow aspirate, or a combination thereof. The IdentiTi Cervical Standalone Interbody System with advanced NanoTec surface treatment is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system intended for use in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of cervical 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.
