The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement is intended to replace a diseased and/or degenerated intervertebral disc of the cervical spine in patients with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD). The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement procedure is intended to significantly reduce pain by allowing for the removal of the diseased disc while restoring disc height and providing the potential for motion at the affected vertebral segment.
The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement is a modular implant consisting of two CoCrMo (cobalt chromium molybdenum) endplates and one UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) inlay. The inferior CoCrMo alloy endplate has a midline keel that is anchored into the endplate of the inferior vertebral body.
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
