West Chester, Pennsylvania–based Centinel Spine designed the Prodisc C Vivo for cervical total disc replacement (TDR). The company in July received FDA approval for its Prodisc C Vivo, Prodisc C SK and Prodisc C Nova.
Dr. Jason Tinley, orthopedic spine surgeon and founder of the Dallas-Forth Worth Center for Spinal Disorders, performed the first Prodisc C Vivo procedure.
“This patient had severe left-sided neck pain radiating into the forearm and thumb and a left C5/6 disc herniation,” Tinley said in a news release . “Having the intraoperative options of a convex dome with spikes (Prodisc C Vivo) versus a flat endplate component with keel (Prodisc C) gave me the modularity to maximize endplate contact and stability, thus decreasing bone removal, risk of heterotopic ossification, subsidence, or implant failure. Ultimately, this allows me to best restore motion while also minimizing risk.”
Prodisc C Vivo has been in clinical use internationally since 2009. Centinel Spine said it is currently one of the most frequently implanted TDR devices outside the U.S.
The device features keel-less fixation with an anatomically designed superior endplate and lateral spikes to optimize fit and provide immediate fixation. It incorporates the company’s Prodisc CORE technology.
“This is a historic milestone for the company, and we appreciate the support from our surgeon partners,” Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray said. “Total disc replacement is one of the fastest growing global segments in all of orthopedics, and we continue innovating in this area to advance patient care. With our recent regulatory achievements, we are now able to offer surgeons a unique range of options to match the disc to patient anatomy.”
