What is it indicated for?

Cove Putty is intended to fill voids and gaps in the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The product is indicated for use with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine and pelvis.

When used in intervertebral body fusion procedures, Cove Putty must be used as a bone graft extender with an intervertebral body fusion device cleared by FDA for use with a bone void filler.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
