Prestige LP Cervical Disc offers surgeons treating patients with radiculopathy and myelopathy related to cervical disc degeneration an alternative to spinal fusion surgery. Constructed of stainless steel in a unique, two-piece ball-and-trough configuration, the device is designed to maintain motion at the treated vertebral segment.
Features:
- Two-piece articulating metal-on-metal device is designed to allow for motion after implantation
- Proprietary titanium ceramic composite material contains no nickel, cobalt, or chromium
- Titanium ceramic composite has a lower steady state wear rate of combined motion than stainless steel1
- 10-year clinical study data for one-and two- level IDE trials
- Consolidated instrument configuration for improved cost and efficiency*
IMPLANT MATERIAL: Implant Material Demonstrating Lower State of Wear
- Titanium ceramic composite material (TiC) contains zero nickel, cobalt, or chromium
- Metal ion study, performed as part of US IDE clinical trials, showed that TiC has lower steady state of wear verses stainless steel in combined motion testing1
- TiC demonstrated satisfactory MRI clarity vs cobalt-chromium or stainless steel discs2‡
Risk include wear debris.
MOTION PRESERVING IMPLANT: Range of Motion with the Prestige LP Cervical Disc
- Ball and trough articulation is designed to allow for a variable center of rotation (COR) that is located within an intended physiological area of the cervical spine
- Allows for a maximum of 10 degrees of lateral bending and flexion/extension from neutral, unlimited axial rotation and +/- 2mm AP translation
- Has no mobile core that could migrate from the device postoperatively
Risks include loss of motion.
STREAMLINED INSTRUMENTS: Surgical Technique and Fixation with the Prestige LP Streamlined Instrument Set
- Predictable, reproducible implant positioning with cannulated drill and rail punch designed to allow trial to remain in disc space between steps to prevent collapse or loss of midline§
- Low profile press-fit rails with anti-migration teeth for fixation
- Grit blasted, commercially pure titanium plasma spray between rails for enhanced fixation
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
