First artificial disc replacement approved for Degenerative Disc Disease sufferers in the United States.
We know that degenerative disc disease can literally be a pain in the neck.
That’s why we are proud to offer suffers of this disease some relief with the PRESTIGE cervical disc, the first artificial disc replacement approved for use in the United States. As a stainless steel surgical implant, the PRESTIGE cervical disc’s patented ball-and-trough design allows for a variable center of rotation, meaning the disc is designed to better replicate the motion of a naturally functioning cervical spine.
Prior to this advanced procedure, spinal fusion surgery was the best way to treat degenerative disc disease, but this type of procedure can often result in restricted motion in the treated area. The PRESTIGE cervical disc replacement allows the patient to retain movement and is a very effective and safe alternative to spinal fusion surgery.
The FDA approved the disc after reviewing data from the largest completed clinical trial to date involving the cervical spine. Patients in the study showed superior overall success and superior neurological success, which incorporated sensory, motor, and reflex functions.
The addition of this procedure showcases our commitment to you by continually providing the most innovative and advanced healthcare and technology available.
