The AccuLIF TL Cages are indicated for intervertebral body fusion with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DOD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1.",
