WEST CHESTER, PA — Centinel Spine®, LLC has successfully completed the first U.S. implantation of its prodisc C Nova cervical total disc replacement (TDR) device. This event marks a significant advancement in the field of orthopedic implants, following the FDA’s approval for 1-level indications in July 2022.
Centinel Spine is a leader in the spine industry, exclusively focusing on total disc replacement, one of the fastest growing segments in orthopedic implants. With the introduction of prodisc C Nova, Centinel Spine now offers four cervical TDR devices in the U.S., reinforcing its position as the only company with a comprehensive portfolio tailored to match patient and surgeon needs.
The prodisc C Nova, Centinel Spine’s fourth cervical TDR offering, features a unique tri-keel design for optimized implant positioning and immediate fixation. It was co-developed by spine surgeon Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli, who emphasized its reliability, stating, “Its unique three-keel design, combined with the reliable prodisc motion mechanism, makes the prodisc C Nova particularly effective in my experience.”
The first U.S. procedure was performed by Dr. J. Alex Sielatycki at the Steamboat Orthopedic & Spine Institute in Colorado. Dr. Sielatycki reported, “The implant was easy to use and I believe it will serve this and many other patients very well. The tri-keel tracked nicely and allowed me to ensure good positioning of the implant.”
Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray expressed enthusiasm about this development, “We are delighted to make another proven prodisc cervical option available in the U.S. The entire prodisc portfolio is built on the proven, safe, and reliable motion preservation design that makes prodisc such a trusted name in spine care.”
The prodisc C Nova incorporates the CORE technology, renowned for its predictable clinical outcomes over the past 30 years, with over 250,000 implantations worldwide. This milestone further strengthens Centinel Spine’s effort to advance motion preservation in spine care.
