Our Cervical Implants
Welcome to the website of our neurosurgical clinic, specializing in disc prosthetics in the cervical spine. We offer a range of prosthetic options for Anterior Cervical Total Disc Replacement (ACDR), including the Prodisc Nova, M6 Spinal Kinetic, and ESP-C implants. The selection of the appropriate implant depends on various anatomical criteria such as vertebral body size and lordosis angle.
What is Anterior Cervical Total Disc Replacement?
Anterior Cervical Total Disc Replacement (ACDR) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat disc disorders in the cervical spine. This procedure involves the removal of the diseased disc and replacement with an artificial disc prosthesis, restoring the natural mobility and function of the spine.

Prodisc Nova Implant
The Prodisc Nova implant from Centinel Spine is an innovative prosthesis specifically designed for the cervical spine. Made from biocompatible materials, it mimics the natural movement of the spine. The prosthesis consists of a mobile core unit and two plates, ensuring stable anchoring to the adjacent vertebrae.
Function and Benefits of Prodisc Nova:
- Motion Preservation: Allows natural movement of the cervical spine in all directions.
- Pain Relief: Reduces pressure and irritation on the nerve roots, leading to significant pain relief.
- Stability: Ensures stable and secure positioning within the spine.

M6 Spinal Kinetic Implant
The M6 Spinal Kinetic implant is another advanced option that closely replicates the natural disc's motion and function. It features an artificial nucleus and annulus, providing a natural range of motion and shock absorption.
Function and Benefits of M6 Spinal Kinetic:
- Natural Kinetics: Emulates the natural disc's motion and kinematics.
- Shock Absorption: Offers similar shock absorption to that of a natural disc, enhancing comfort.
- Flexibility: Supports a wide range of motion while maintaining stability.

ESP-C Implant
The ESP-C implant is known for its viscoelastic properties, which provide flexibility and stability. It is designed to adapt to the spine's movements and maintain the alignment and natural curvature of the cervical spine.
Function and Benefits of ESP-C:
- Viscoelastic Properties: Provides both flexibility and stability.
- Adaptability: Adapts to the spine's movements, preserving natural alignment.
- Comfort: Designed to offer enhanced comfort by mimicking natural disc behavior.
Implant Selection Criteria
Choosing the appropriate implant for ACDR involves considering various anatomical criteria:
- Vertebral Body Size: Ensures the implant fits properly within the cervical spine.
- Lordosis Angle: Helps maintain the natural curvature and alignment of the spine.
- Other Anatomical Considerations: Such as the specific needs of the patient's spine and overall health condition.
Durability and Scientific Studies
All our implants, including Prodisc Nova, M6 Spinal Kinetic, and ESP-C, are known for their high durability and long-term effectiveness. Numerous scientific studies confirm the safety and efficacy of these implants. For instance, a study in 2020 highlighted significant improvements in quality of life and mobility for patients undergoing ACDR with these implants compared to traditional fusion surgeries. Long-term data support their enduring functionality and patient satisfaction.
