ProDisc Lumbar

ProDisc Lumbar

The ProDisc-L total disc replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from L3-S1.  During the total disc replacement procedure, the diseased intervertebral disc is removed and replaced with a motion preserving ProDisc-L implant.  The ProDisc-L total disc replacement surgery is intended to:

  • Remove the diseased disc
  • Restore disc normal height
  • Reduce discogenic pain
  • Provide the potential to preserve motion in the affected vertebral segment

The Design

The ProDisc-L implant design is based on a ball and socket principle.  The ProDisc-L implant is composed of three implant components – two metal endplates and a plastic inlay, as illustrated below:

The endplates have a patented central keel and small spikes for initial fixation to the vertebrae, and a plasma sprayed titanium coating on all bone contacting surfaces to promote bony integration. The ProDisc-L implant materials have historically been used in hip and knee replacements and have been used in spinal arthroplasty procedures for two decades.

The ProDisc-L implant is available in a variety of sizes to allow surgeons to accurately match the patient’s anatomy.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
