## Indications for use
The Segmental Plating System (SPS) is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis. The IdentiTi SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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 SPS 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.
