Determined Safe & Effective
for Intractable SCDD

The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of intractable symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) at one level from C3 to C7.

The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement surgery is intended to:

Remove the diseased disc
Restore normal disc height
Decompress surrounding neural structures
Potentially provide motion in affected vertebral segment
Improve patient function

Design Philosophy

The prodisc C implant has been designed to maintain the physiologic range of motion in the spine. The implant was developed using the ball and socket concept used in joint replacement implants for over 40 years. The prodisc C implant is composed of three components – two cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) endplates and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) inlay and is inserted into the vertebral bodies en-bloc.

Mechanism of Action

The prodisc implant is a ball and socket design with a fixed center of rotation. This design has been in clinical use since 1990 and utilized across the entire product platform. The fixed center of rotation allows physiological range of motion while providing stability to the spine and significantly reducing post-operative findings of adjacent level disease.^{3, 4}

Secure Fixation with No Profile

Central keel provides secure primary fixation
Plasma-sprayed titanium surface on bone contacting surfaces designed to promote integration and increase stability
Implant designed to not contact anterior soft tissue structures after implantation

Anatomical Sizing

18 anatomical sizes facilitate an accurate match with the patient’s anatomy
- 6 footprints
- 3 heights (5, 6 and 7 mm)

Safe and Reproducible Surgical Technique

Working with leading spine surgeons from around the world, the prodisc C instrumentation and surgical technique has been refined to facilitate safe and reproducible implantation through a standard transverse approach to the anterior cervical spine.
