The most studied and clinically-proven total disc replacement technology in the world.
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 clinically proven 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 patented 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 re-operations at the adjacent levels.
Secure Fixation with No Profile
- Patented central keel provides secure primary fixation
- Plasma-sprayed titanium surface on bone contacting surfaces promotes integration and increases stability
- Implant does 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)
