The Physio-L(R) Artificial Disc is an elastomeric disc prosthesis designedto be used in the lumbar spine for patients suffering from degenerative discdisease. The device's proprietary elastomeric technology enables the disc toclosely mimic the mechanical properties of the natural disc and represents asignificant advance over current designs of disc prostheses.
"The unique properties of the Physio-L(R) help restore the natural shockabsorption of the disc," said Casey Lee MD, Chairman and Founder of NexgenSpine. "This allows the surgeon to restore function to the patient's disc.The clinical data for the Physio-L(R) are demonstrating outstandingimprovements in both patient disability and pain, supporting the concept ofusing elastomeric polymers for total disc prostheses."
