About the Event:
Please join esteemed faculty Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli, Dr. John F. Hall, Dr. Ehsan Jazini, and Dr. Osama Ahmed to learn more about the new prodisc® Match-the-Disc™ cervical and lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) system and the value of intraoperative implant optionality.
With the recent release of several new anatomic cervical TDR devices and lumbar Anatomical Endplate™ configurations, the prodisc system becomes the first-and-only TDR portfolio providing the ability to match the most appropriate TDR device to the needs of the surgeon and patient. These devices all incorporate prodisc CORE technology, the articulating design feature that ‘powers’ the predictable clinical outcomes of every prodisc device after 30 years and 240,000+ implantations.
During this cadaver demonstration, you will be introduced to the two latest cervical TDR technologies launched in the U.S.—prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK—and the Universal Instrument System capable of efficiently implanting the devices.
