## Indications for use
The NuVasive Spinal Arthroscope, consisting of a rigid diagnostic arthroscope with outer sheath, is intended to achieve percutaneous vizualization of, and/or to assist in performing percutaneous surgical procedures on, the spinal nerve root, foramina, intervertebral disc, and the surrounding tissues of the spine via uniportal or biportal posterior or posterolateral approach, where anatomic restrictions permit percutaneous access. The device is intended for use in conjunction with the NuVasive Guided Spinal Arthroscopy System under real-time radiographic visualization via image-intensified C-arm fluoroscopy, but may also be employed independent of that system where it is compatible in diameter and length with other commercially available arthroscopic instruments, and with surgical need.
