Compliant, Coiled Intervertebral Disc Replacement ID: 2017-074

A revolutionary intervertebral disc replacement designed for minimally invasive implantation, aiming to significantly reduce recovery times and more accurately replicate natural spinal movements.

Technology Overview

This innovative technology introduces a compliant, coiled design for intervertebral disc replacement that can be implanted through minimally invasive surgery. It addresses the limitations of current disc replacement technologies by eliminating the need for open surgery, reducing tissue damage, and shortening patient recovery times. Its unique design allows for the accurate restoration of spinal segment movement in all directions without the generation of wear particles, thanks to its frictionless surfaces.

Key Advantages

• Minimally invasive surgical approach reduces recovery time and tissue damage
• Accurately restores spinal segment movement in all directions, closely mimicking natural spinal kinetics and kinematics
• Lacks frictional surfaces, significantly reducing wear particle generation
• Customizable to individual patients based on pre-operative imaging

Problems Addressed

• Need for open surgery in disc replacement, leading to significant tissue damage and long recovery times
• Inability of existing disc replacement solutions to fully replicate natural spinal movements
• Generation of wear particles by current disc replacements, posing long-term health risks

Market Applications

• Orthopedic surgery, specifically for spinal surgeries requiring disc replacement
• Custom medical devices tailored to individual patient anatomy and needs
• Tissue engineering platforms for advanced medical treatments
• Pharmaceutical delivery systems integrated into implantable devices
