Simplify Cervical Disc, an MRI compatible disc, is designed and manufactured by Simplify Medical, a San Francisco Bay Area-based medical device company designing, developing and clinically testing the most advanced cervical artificial disc for use in the spine.Simplify is designed to preserve motion in patients suffering from symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD)Simplify eliminates the need for CT/Myelogram and CT imaging in follow up clinical exams.
Key Benefits:
- Simplify – MRI Compatible Artificial Disc
- Simplify is the only cervical artificial disc composed primarily of MRI friendly materials
- Simplify eliminates the need for radiation-intensive CT/Myelograms
- Simplify PEEK endplates are compliant
- Simplify PEEK-on-ceramic articulation is designed for low levels of wear to optimize long-term durability
- Simplify Benefits Smaller Patients and Women

- Simplify disc heights ( 5 – 6mm) and footprint sizes are designed to closely match patients’ anatomies
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
