Centinel Spine announced completion of the 500th surgery in the U.S. with its FDA-approved prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK total cervical disc replacement (TDR) systems.
"The new keel-less prodisc C Vivo device offers a combination of a well-designed anatomical endplate shape along with robust spikes that provide strong immediate fixation," neurosurgeon Richard Fessler, MD from Rush University told the press. "Additionally, the simple instrumentation and minimal implantation steps result in an extremely easy-to-use system and efficient surgical technique."
According to orthopedic spine surgeon Oliver Tannous, MD, from MedStar Washington Hospital Center, "This new prodisc system is an excellent solution for my patients because it gives me multiple implant options within the same system. This optionality has provided me the versatility to expand my patient selection and overall disc arthroplasty usage. Although these prodisc technologies are new to the U.S., I have confidence in the system based on the proven motion mechanics, long track record, and strong clinical data behind the technologies."
prodisc C Vivo has been in clinical use since 2009 and according to Centinel is one of the most frequently implanted TDR devices in the world. It features keel-less fixation and an anatomically designed superior endplate with lateral spikes to optimize fit and allow immediate fixation.
Prodisc C SK has a flat endplate design for optimized implant positioning to surgeons can address individual patient anatomy. It also has a low-profile central keel for immediate fixation and a streamlined keel preparation technique.
"Total disc replacement is one of the most rapidly expanding segments in all of orthopedics, and we are delighted with the accelerated global growth in both our cervical and lumbar disc replacement businesses," said Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray. "On the cervical side, it is a clear benefit to provide a system that can match the disc to individual surgeon and patient needs. Further, our lumbar system also offers similar optionality benefits through a variety of unique anatomic configurations."
