For patients suffering from chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease, the ProDisc® Total Disc Replacement (TDR) system offers a promising solution. This innovative technology aims to restore natural spinal motion and alleviate pain without the need for spinal fusion.
What is ProDisc®?
ProDisc® is a motion-preserving implant designed to replace a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc in the cervical or lumbar spine. The device consists of cobalt chrome endplates and a polyethylene core, mimicking the natural disc’s function.
Benefits of ProDisc®
-
Restores Natural Motion: Unlike fusion procedures, ProDisc® allows for the preservation of spinal movement.
-
Reduces Pain: By replacing the damaged disc, the device alleviates pressure on nerves, reducing pain.
-
Shorter Recovery Time: Patients often experience quicker recovery compared to traditional fusion surgeries.
Indications
ProDisc® is indicated for patients with symptomatic cervical or lumbar disc disease who have not responded to conservative treatments.
The ProDisc® Total Disc Replacement system offers a viable alternative to spinal fusion, providing patients with improved mobility and reduced pain. At Platinum Pro Medical, we are dedicated to offering this advanced treatment to help our patients lead active, pain-free lives.
