Prodisc L Disc Replacement

Disc Replacement

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) may be a solution for some patients with degenerative disc disease as an alternative to spinal fusion-providing the possibility for motion in the affected area.

Dr. Sunil Jeswani offers prodisc®, an advanced disc replacement technology from Centinel Spine with exceptional, well documented results to select patients suffering from degenerative disc disease.

About prodisc®

Prodisc® is a Total Disc Replacement (TDR) technology platform that offers a surgical treatment proven to maintain spinal balance and motion, decelerate adjacent level reoperations, and accelerate the return to normal activities.

Centinel Spine is currently the only company in the United States to offer Total Disc Replacement devices for both the cervical and lumbar artificial disc replacement. It is the only total disc replacement system in the U.S. approved for two-level use in the lumbar spine.

Anterior Lumbar Total Disc Replacement

 

The most studied and clinically-proven total disc replacement technology in the world is now the only total disc replacement system in the U.S. approved for two-level use in the lumbar spine.

Why prodisc L?

Determined Safe & Effective for Degenerative Disc Disease

The prodisc L Total Disc Replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at two levels from L3 to S1.

The prodisc L Total Disc Replacement surgery is intended to:

  • Remove the diseased disc
  • Restore normal disc height
  • Reduce discogenic pain
  • Potentially provide motion in affected vertebral segment

Design Philosophy

Design Philosophy

The prodisc L implant has been designed to maintain the physiological 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 L implant is composed of three components – two cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) endplates and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) inlay.

Mechanism of Action

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 reoperations at the adjacent levels.

Secure Fixation

Secure Fixation
  • Patented central keel and lateral spikes provide secure primary fixation
  • Plasma-sprayed titanium surface on bone contacting surfaces promotes integration

Anatomical Sizing

Secure Fixation

12 anatomical combinations facilitate an accurate match with the patient’s anatomy

  • Medium and large footprints
  • 10, 12 and 14 mm heights
  • 6° and 11º lordotic angles

Safe and Reproducible Surgical Technique

Working with leading spine surgeons from around the world, the prodisc L instrumentation and surgical technique has been refined to facilitate safe and reproducible implantation through a midline, mini-open anterior approach to the lumbar spine.
