The ProDisc C Vivo is a cervical total disc replacement system designed to restore motion and alleviate pain in patients with symptomatic cervical disc disease, with the option for two-level use, and is part of Centinel Spine’s Match-the-Disc™ system.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What is ProDisc C Vivo?
- Purpose:The ProDisc C Vivo is intended to replace a diseased or degenerated intervertebral disc in the cervical spine, aiming to restore disc height and potentially allow motion at the affected vertebral segment.
- Technology:It utilizes the prodisc CORE Technology, which includes a fixed core and optimized core radius for stability and controlled motion.
- Design:The device features a convex superior plate for anatomical fixation and a trapezoidal footprint design for optimal anatomical fit.
- Materials:The superior and inferior implant plates are made from titanium alloy for improved MRI compatibility.
- Two-Level Use:The ProDisc C Vivo system is designed for use at two levels in the cervical spine.
- Match-the-Disc™ System:It’s part of Centinel Spine’s Match-the-Disc™ system, which allows surgeons to choose the appropriate implant based on the patient’s anatomy.
- Clinical Trials:A clinical trial evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK system by comparing it with an approved TDR product.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Motion Preservation:The device aims to maintain the physiological range of motion in the affected vertebral segment.
- Pain Relief:By removing the diseased disc and restoring disc height, it can effectively reduce pain.
- Enhanced Stability:The plasma-sprayed titanium surface promotes bone integration and increases implant stability.
- Surgical Technique:The procedure involves a simple technique with two main steps: trial and implant insertion.
- Wide Selection of Size Options:The ProDisc C Vivo system offers a wide selection of size options to accommodate anatomical variation, including 18 options, 6 footprints, and 3 heights (5-7mm
