BAGUERA®L is the Lumbar artificial disc from SpineArt.
Benefits:
- Reduced MRI Artifact :The titanium plates reduce artifacts under the MRI and improve the postoperative control. The plates are coated with DIAMOLITH®.
- Shock Absorption :The shape of the inferior plate and the PE nucleus are designed to enable absorption of shocks and vibrations.
- Mobile of Fixed Nucleus :The BAGUERA®L concept allows the surgeon to choose the mobility of the nucleus intraoperatively, without changing the superior or inferior plates. The movement of the mobile nucleus is controlled to respect rotation movements.
- Primary Stability :The porous titanium coating as well as the 5 upper and 5 lower fins are designed for primary and secondary stability.
*Not FDA approved
About Lumbar Artificial Disc
Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is newer type of spinal disc procedure that utilizes an anterior (front – through the abdominal region) approach to replace a painful, arthritic, worn-out intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine with a metal and plastic prosthesis (artificial disc). Artificial disc replacement is primarily considered for patients with isolated 1-level (one disc only) degenerative disc disease. Prior to the development of ADR, spinal fusion was the principal treatment for painful degenerative disc disease that failed to improve with nonoperative management. ADR is generally NOT recommended for patients with spinal fractures, instability, neurologic compression, or multiple level degenerative disc disease – spinal fusion remains the treatment of choice for these conditions. The advantages of ADR include a faster recovery time than spinal fusion and preserved motion at the disc level. The theoretical long-term advantage of ADR, which remains unproven, is the possibility of decreased adjacent level stress and arthritis compared with spinal fusion.
