Cervical Prodisc C NOVA

Determined Safe & Effective for SCDD

The prodisc C Nova Total Disc Replacement is intended to replace a diseased and/or degenerated intervertebral disc of the cervical spine in patients with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD).

The prodisc C Nova Total Disc Replacement surgery is intended to:

  • Significantly reduce pain by allowing for the removal of the diseased disc

  • Restore biomechanical stability

  • Restore normal disc height

  • Provide the potential for motion at the affected vertebral segment

Design Philosophy

The prodisc C Nova implant has been designed to maintain the physiologic range of motion in the spine. The implant was developed using the clinically proven ball and socket concept used in joint replacement implants for over 40 years. The prodisc C Nova implant is composed of four components—two titanium alloy (TAN) endplates, a cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) calotte insert, and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) inlay—and is inserted into the vertebral bodies en-bloc.

Ball and Socket Design

  • Controlled, predictable motion

  • Controlled translation limits the load on facet joints

  • Permits a physiological range of motion in flexion/extension, rotation, and lateral bending

  • Allows for restoration of anatomical balance
