CAVUX Cervical Cage is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C3-C7) with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the device. Devices are intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation, such as an anterior plating system.
A non-powered wedge-shaped device intended to be inserted within a cervical facet joint (spinal joint), i.e., intra-facet, for joint distraction; the distraction is intended to facilitate nerve root decompression and stabilization of the spine in the treatment of various spinal conditions. It is typically fenestrated or barbed and may incorporate a screw to expand to shape and/or to provide fixation within the joint and cervical spine stabilization. It typically includes single-use instruments (e.g., chisels, rasps) for implantation.
