Anterior Cervical Disc

The relief of pain and return of normal function have been the driving forces behind advances in spinal surgery. While the clinical success of segmental fusion is well documented, it can impair a patient's future function by accelerating adjacent level disc degeneration. Disc arthroplasty, by maintaining joint mobility, can eliminate this common outcome. The concept for the C-DISC Artificial Cervical Disc has its foundation in this belief. By combining established successes in total diathrodial joint arthroplasty with the clinical experience gained from lumbar spine arthroplasty, C-DISC offers the patient freedom of movement.

Biome Mechanics:

Designed as a non-constrained, full motion implant, C-DISC complements the biomechanics of the cervical spine without interfering with the natural restrictions of movement imposed by surrounding bony and soft tissue structures. The articulation interface covers the total surface area of the implant's two components, enabling the largest radius arc and a true translatory gliding motion that mimics the function of a normal disc.
