The PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc

The PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc is an artificial disc replacement that gives patients suffering from the symptoms of degenerative cervical disc disease or acute unresolved cervical disc herniation a chance to maintain their pre-operative physiologic function and preserve motion in their necks.  For more information you can check the website: http://www.prestigedisc.com/                    

 

 

The oval spacer fits between the spinous processes and the wings are designed to prevent the implant from moving. The X-STOP® IPD® Impant is designed to keep the space between your spinous processes open, so that when you stand upright the nerves in your back will not be pinched or cause pain. With the X-STOP® IPD® Impant in place, you should not need to bend forward to relieve your symptoms.  For more information you can check the website:
