ProDisc Lumbar

August 17, 2016 By SPINEMarketGroup

ProDisc is a Total Disc Replacement (TDR) technology platform that offers a surgical alternative to fusion to qualified patients suffering from disc degeneration in the cervical and lumbar spine. ProDisc implants are intended to relieve pain while allowing the potential for motion at the diseased spinal segment.

ProDisc Clinical History

The first generation ProDisc lumbar implant was first implanted in a human in 1990.The implant design was refined based on early clinical experience, and the current generation ProDisc-L implant was introduced outside the United States in 1999. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States in August 2006.

The ProDisc-C implant was developed based on the same design principles as the ProDisc-L implant. The first ProDisc-C Total Disc Replacement surgery was performed in Europe in 2002. It was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in December 2007.

Features:

Anatomic Endplates™: The prodisc L Total Disc Replacement system now has a greater selection of endplates available. These unique endplates have been designed to shift the lordotic angle of the implant to the inferior endplate, expanding the options available to surgeons to better address the varied lumbar anatomy and pathology of patients.

The Most Studied TDR System in the World: Beginning with clinical usage in 1990, the prodisc design has been validated with over 225,000 device implantations worldwide and more than 540 published papers. 1

Determined Safe & Effective for Degenerative Disc Disease: The prodisc L Total Disc Replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at two levels from L3 to S1.

Design Philosophy: The prodisc L implant has been designed to maintain the physiological range of motion in the spine. The implant was developed using the clinically proven ball and socket concept used in joint replacement implants for over 40 years. The prodisc L implant is composed of three components – two cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) endplates and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) inlay.

Mechanism of Action: The prodisc implant is a ball and socket design with a fixed center of rotation. This patented design has been in clinical use since 1990 and utilized across the entire product platform. The fixed center of rotation allows physiological range of motion while providing stability to the spine and significantly reducing reoperations at the adjacent levels.

Secure Fixation

  • Patented central keel and lateral spikes provide secure primary fixation
  • Plasma-sprayed titanium surface on bone contacting surfaces promotes integration

Anatomical Sizing

  • 12 anatomical combinations facilitate an accurate match with the patient’s anatomy
    • Medium and large footprints
    • 10, 12 and 14 mm heights
    • 6° and 11º lordotic angles

Safe and Reproducible Surgical Technique: Working with leading spine surgeons from around the world, the prodisc L instrumentation and surgical technique has been refined to facilitate safe and reproducible implantation through a midline, mini-open anterior approach to the lumbar spine.

Streamlined Instrumentation

  • Designed for midline, mini-open anterior approach
  • Enables clear visualization into the disc space
  • Minimizes exposure and risk of damage to vascular structures
