INTRODUCTION
Prodisc®-C Vivo implants are intended as cervical disc replacements and serve to restore disc height and maintain segmental movement.
THE MOST CLINICALLY PROVEN TOTAL DISC REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
No other disc replacement system has been studied more: Nearly 40% of all TDR papers report on prodisc.
More published lives than for any other system with over 13,000 patients reported on in over 400 articles.
PROVEN DESIGN
Fixed Center of Rotation
- Allows translation only when coupled with rotation, mimicking the natural movements of the cervical spine
- Motion is in-line with facets, resisting shear forces
Anatomic Endplate
- Provides anatomic option for patients without endplate flattening
- Enables increased immediate surface area contact for better implant immobilization and subsidence reduction
Anatomic Sizing
- 5-7mm heights, six footprint sizes, with depth options up to 18mm—optimizing fit
Porous Titanium Surfaces
- Covers all bone contacting surfaces, promoting bony ongrowth, further securing the implant
Mechanism of Action
- Allows for controlled and predictable segmental motion
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
- GREATER THAN 125,000 device implantations of prodisc in the last 30 years, worldwide
- WITH prodisc® C, PROSPECTIVE STUDIES SHOW 4x LOWER likelihood of re-operations and incidences of adjacent segment disease versus ACDF with plate and bone
