Centinel Spine in the News: California spine group joins study on 2 total disc replacement devices

Per Patch & Becker’s Spine:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Anand Spine Group in Los Angeles is participating in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study – monitored by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and sponsored by West Chester, PA-based, Centinel Spine, LLC – evaluating two different cervical total disc replacement (TDR) devices.

The Anand Spine Group, led by Neel Anand, MD, MCh.Orth, professor of orthopaedic surgery and director of spine trauma at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, is one of many investigators throughout the U.S. taking part in the study comparing the prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK devices with an FDA-approved TDR device in order to validate their safety and effectiveness for the treatment of two-level symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD). The prodisc C Vivo product has been used since 2009, and is the most frequently implanted TDR product outside of the United States. The prodisc C SK implant is a variation of the prodisc C Nova device, an implant successfully used outside of the United States since 2010.

“This an important study because it enables surgeons to select the most efficacious TDR implant that best matches the patient’s anatomy. As a result, we can potentially optimize clinical outcomes and preserve spinal motion with arthroplasty,” says Dr. Anand. “We hope that this study will provide us the scientific data needed to support the continued use of these TDR devices that aim to correct patients’ underlying spinal conditions while helping to restore their range of motion.”
