Our innovative VerteBRIDGE® anchoring technology combined with a mobile core offering controlled mobility provides a unique solution that fulfils two requirements of lumbar arthroplasty: restoring the physiological mobility of the treated segment and optimal positioning of the implant.
Benefits:
Core with controlled mobility
- The mobile core of Mobidisc® L combines rotation with translation to respect the Instantaneous Centers of Rotation (ICR) and preserve the action of the articular facets.
- The self-positioning of the core helps restore the physiological mobility of the segment while reducing intra and peri-prosthetic stresses.
- 4 peripheral stops control the mobility of the polyethylene core within physiological limits and secure the implant.
- The prosthesis can be implanted through a midline or paramedian approach depending on the level treated and the anatomy of the patient for a minimal mobilisation of the vessels.
- The modular prosthesis holder allows an unrestricted and precise positioning of the prosthesis in the intersomatic space.
- The millimetric adjustment of the adjustable stop guarantees an optimal positioning before placing the anchoring system.
- The bevelled prosthetic endplates facilitate insertion while respecting the vertebral endplates.
- Anchoring is only placed after confirming the optimal positioning of the prosthesis.
- The self-guided insertion of the anchoring system in the axis of the disc and through the prosthesis holder is secure and minimally invasive.
- Curved and self-locking plates hold the prosthesis securely in the intersomatic space. The pre-loading on single-use PEEK Classix® chargers avoids any direct handling.
- Zero-profile anchoring reduces the risk of the implant protuding outside of the intervertebral space.
Adapted to the anatomy of each patient
- The wide range of dimensions (footprint, height, and lordosis) and plates lengths of the prosthesis means the implant is suitable for all patients and makes procedures with hybrid assemblies much easier.
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.
