SECURE C3 is the first cervical disc replacement to combine viscoelastic kinematics with imaging capability. Offered in a comprehensive range of heights, footprints and sagittal profiles, SECURE®-C3 accommodates varying patient anatomy. The stream-lined instrumentation provides precise placement of the implant in three basic steps: Trial – Chisel – Insert
- Quality of Motion: SECURE®-C3 has a viscoelastic polycarbonate urethane (PCU) core that allows physiologic axial compression. The unique selectively constrained design permits a natural range of motion through anterior-posterior translation, flexion-extension, lateral bending and rotation, adjusting to the natural center of rotation of the cervical spine.
- Radiolucent: SECURE®-C3 is manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polycarbonate urethane (PCU) for improved postoperative clinical evaluation. Radiographic markers are visible on fluoroscopy for precise implant positioning. The PEEK-on-PEEK articulation has lower wear characteristics compared to metal-on-metal and metal-on-polyethylene cervical disc replacements.
- Sagittal Alignment: SECURE®-C3 is offered in two sagittal profiles (0° and 6°) to adapt to the natural lordosis of the operative level.
About Artifical Cervical Disc
An artificial cervical disc is a device inserted between two vertebrae in the neck to replace a damaged disc.The intent of the artificial disc is to preserve motion at the disc space. It is an alternative to the commonly performed anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), a surgical procedure that is designed to address the pathology by eliminating motion at the diseased disc level.Artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgery—also known as a total disc arthroplasty or total disc replacement (TDR)—is typically performed for a patient with a cervical disc herniation that is causing significant neck pain and/or arm pain that has not responded to nonsurgical treatment options and is significantly affecting the individual’s quality of life and ability to function.Source:https://www.spine-health.com
