The Wenzel Spine VariLift-C Interbody Fusion System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc degeneration (DDD) and/or cervical spinal instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI) that results in radiculopathy, myelopathy, and/or pain at one or multiple contiguous levels from C2/C3 to C7/T1. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).
The Wenzel Spine VariLift-C Interbody Fusion System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed in a unilateral or a bilateral fashion via an anterior approach using autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone graft, or a bone void filler as cleared by FDA for use in intervertebral body fusion to facilitate fusion. The Wenzel Spine VariLift-C Interbody Fusion System is to be used with or without supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral fusion device.
