Scient'x, a privately-held company dedicated to spinal
implants, announced that its second-generation cervical disc prosthesis
has been implanted in 1.000 patients worldwide.
The Discocerv artificial disc offers a unique design to restore normal
biomechanical motion after discectomy and to prevent adjacent level
degeneration. The implant and instruments have been carefully developed
with leading surgeons in order to provide a one-step only surgical technique,
as easy as the insertion of a cervical cage.
The Discocerv has been launched at the 6th Spine Arthroplasty Society
Meeting in May 2006 and has received a wide acceptance in more than 20
countries so far. The absence of screws or keels to protect the vertebral
endplates and the short learning curve thanks to easy implantation are
among the main benefits brought to spinal surgeons and to their patients by
Scient'x Discocerv.
The first generation, the Cervidisc artificial disc, was one of the pioneer
cervical disc prosthesis as its first implantation in a patient in Europe took
place in June 1999.
O.Carli, C.E.O. of Scient'x, said: "This important milestone proves that
Discocerv has become in one year one of the major products on the cervical
disc prosthesis market which is evaluated to reach more than 500 million
US$ by 2010."
As one of the company's flagship product, the Discocerv has driven Scient'x
growth outside the US of more than 15% for the first quarter of 2007.
