Cervical Disc Prosthesis

A surgical treatment option for degenerated or damaged disc(s) in the neck is cervical disc replacement. The procedure is intended to alleviate or reduce the symptoms while preserving motion in the treated segment.



Is it possible for me to undergo a total cervical disc replacement (cTDR)?

If one or more of the discs between the vertebrae (the small bones that form the spinal column) begin to wear, cervical degenerative disc disease may result in pain, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness in the neck and arms.input:

Preserving motion

The distinctive design is intended to maintain a motion that closely resembles that of a healthy, natural spine.input:
output:Height of discs that are anatomically designed

The Simplify Cervical Disc is engineered to closely match the anatomy of patients and boasts the lowest disc heights currently available.input:
output:Materials that are biocompatible

The Simplify Cervical Disc is comprised of a ceramic core and two PEEK (medical-grade plastic) endplates. The articulating surfaces are not coated with nickel or any other metal. This is to ensure durability, longevity, and the prevention of metal-wear.input:
output:Developed for the purpose of imaging (MRI use)the Simplify Cervical Disc's materials are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)*. MRI is the preferred imaging method for the spine among surgeons, and it does not expose patients to radiation.input:
output:Exceptional outcomes

Simplify Cervical Disc went through rigorous FDA clinical trials, and the results are evident. The Simplify Cervical Disc achieved the highest overall success rate of any disc replacement for 1-level and 2-level treatment.
