c|spinedisc cervical disc prothesis is distinguished by a maximum of mobility and fixation abilities. It’s anatomically formed design complies precisely to the natural shape of the human end plates, ensuring extensive contact to the bone. A pyramidal shaped surface and the low profile allow for an atraumatic positioning in-between the vertebra.
Thus, the reduced weakening – and consequently decreased bleeding – prevents an early fusion and sustainably maintains mobility. The unique design additionally supports 360° rotatability, including the natural nodding motion.
With our c|spinedisc, we also rely on a high grade titanium alloy that provides the necessary stability, as well as proven biocompatibility properties. A special nitrite coating ensures minimum abrasion at the contact areas and hence for lasting mobility.
The c|spinedisc is supplied sterile to the OR, ready to be used for immediate implantation. In order to simplify its use, in advance the device is mounted into a cartridge and only needs to be picked up with a specially developed applier. The trial implants correspond to the ones of the c|spine cage product range, leading to full compatibility of those systems.
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
