Centinel Spine LLC has reached the 2,500-case milestone in the U.S. with its prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK Cervical TDR System.
The prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK technologies are part of the new Match-the-Disc System made available last fall in a limited release. More than 350 surgeons have used the new system over the last 12 months, validating the benefits of intraoperatively selecting the ideal implant for each patient's anatomy. Nearly 70% of the surgeon users are repeat users and the new system is allowing the company to significantly accelerate competitive conversions and increase utilization within its user base. The 2,500 procedure milestone was reached just five months after Centinel Spine announced the 1,000th case in April 2023.
"The prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK Match-the-Disc system has enabled Centinel Spine to push forward in its mission to be a catalyst of change in the spine market," Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray said. "Achieving this milestone so rapidly underscores surgeons' receptivity towards the change that these new prodisc systems bring to the spine operating room, as well as expansion of the total disc replacement market."
The prodisc portfolio is the world's most extensive TDR system, offering both cervical and lumbar implants with anatomically-differentiated designs, according to company executives. Centinel Spine is the only company with U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for both cervical and lumbar TDR systems. All of the prodisc cervical and lumbar devices incorporate prodisc CORE technology, the basis behind the predictable clinical outcomes of the prodisc platform after 30 years and more than 250,000 implantations worldwide.*
"The 'Match-the-Disc' prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK system provides multiple implant options to best fit each patient's anatomy, while at the same time not creating extra instrumentation complexity," stated Benjamin Geddes, an orthopedic spine surgeon with the Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopedics in Chattanooga, Tenn. "This increases your options as a surgeon while not bogging down your staff. There have been multiple occasions where I went in thinking I would use one prodisc implant and in real time pivoted to a different prodisc implant with better fit. This was done seamlessly without wasting valuable OR time."
Centinel Spine LLC is a global provider of total disc replacement (TDR) technology. The company's prodisc technology is the most studied and clinically-proven TDR system worldwide and is the only technology with multiple motion-preserving solutions for both cervical and lumbar anterior column reconstruction.
