WHY Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement?

The Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement offers a “Quality of Motion” that is not present in any other implant we have seen!

Unlike early Disc Replacement designs, the Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement is designed to replicate the structure and performance of a natural disc. Its innovative design incorporates an artificial nucleus to allow shock absorption and a woven fiber annulus for graded variable motion resistance in all directions.

These characteristics accurately replicate the natural disc, allowing the implant to work in concert with the remaining human discs. Unlike earlier “ball-in-socket” implants, with the M6 disc replacement the resulting natural functionality of the entire spinal curve will provide the best chance for a full recovery. In addition, future complications will be eliminated by reducing adjacent level degeneration and strain on the muscles and ligaments.

Spinal Kinetics M6 Cervical Disc Replacement

The Spinal Kinetics M6 Cervical Disc Replacement offers a “Quality of Motion” that is not present in any other implant we have seen!

Unlike early Disc Replacement designs, the Spinal Kinetics M6 cervical artificial disc is designed to replicate the structure and performance of a natural disc. Its innovative design incorporates an artificial nucleus to allow shock absorption and a woven fiber annulus for graded variable motion resistance in all directions.

Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement 

Spinal Kinetics M6 Disc Replacement

The Spinal Kinetics M6 artificial cervical disc replacement offers an innovative option for artificial cervical disc replacement because of its unique design which is based on a natural disc’s qualities.

Engineered to replicate your own disc, the M6 disc replacement is the only artificial disc that incorporates an artificial nucleus (made from polycarbonate urethane) and a woven fiber annulus (made from polyethylene). The M6 artificial disc nucleus and annulus are designed to provide the same motion characteristics of a natural disc.

Together, the M6’s artificial disc nucleus and annulus provide compressive capabilities along with a controlled range of natural motion in all 6 degrees of freedom along each vertebra.

This “natural” motion is designed to provide the freedom and stability you need to move your neck naturally.

The M6 disc replacement has two titanium outer plates with keels for anchoring the disc into the bone of the vertebral body. These outer plates are coated with a titanium plasma spray that promotes bone growth into the metal plates, providing long term fixation and stability of the disc in the bone.

Spinal Kinetics M6 Lumbar Disc Replacement

The Spinal Kinetics M6 Lumbar Disc Replacement offers a “Quality of Motion” that is not present in any other implant we have seen!

Unlike early Disc Replacement designs, the Spinal Kinetics M6 lumbar artificial disc is designed to replicate the structure and performance of a natural disc. Its innovative design incorporates an artificial nucleus to allow shock absorption and a woven fiber annulus for graded variable motion resistance in all directions.

These characteristics accurately replicate the natural disc, allowing the implant to work in concert with the remaining human discs. Unlike earlier “ball-in-socket” implants, with the M6 disc replacement the resulting natural functionality of the entire spinal curve will provide the best chance for a full recovery. In addition, future complications will be eliminated by reducing adjacent level degeneration and strain on the muscles and ligaments.

This “Quality of Motion” is a major patient benefit not available in any other implant!

The Spinal Kinetics M6 Lumbar artificial disc replacement offers an innovative option compared to other artificial lumbar disc replacement because of its unique design, which is based on the qualities of the natural disc.

The M6 Lumbar Disc Replacement is the only artificial disc that incorporates an artificial nucleus (made from polycarbonate urethane) and a woven fiber annulus (made from polyethylene). The M6-L artificial nucleus and annulus are designed to provide the same physiologic motion characteristics of a natural disc. Extensive biomechanical testing with the M6-L artificial lumbar disc has demonstrated equivalent Quality of Motion compared to the healthy disc.

Together, the M6 Lumbar’s artificial nucleus and annulus provide compressive capabilities and a controlled range of natural motion in all 6 degrees of freedom. This “natural” motion is designed to provide the freedom to move your back naturally.

The M6 Lumbar Disc Replacement has two titanium outer plates with keels for anchoring the disc into the bone of the vertebral body. These outer plates are coated with a titanium plasma spray that promotes bone growth into the metal plates, providing long-term fixation and stability of the disc in the bone.

ESP Disc Replacement

ESP Disc Replacement

The ESP Disc Replacement is a mono-bloc total disc replacement implant that restores natural disc functions.

The ESP disc replacement is made of 2 titanium alloy end-plates and an elasto-meric cushion. The spikes on the end-plates outer surfaces improve primary fixation. The combination of a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on top of a T40 rough surface are considered as one of the best existing coating. The titanium alloy used for the end plates allows clear medical imaging and guarantees good bony fixation over time.

  • Between the 2 titanium end-plates the elsatomeric parts are injected for controled resistance to compression, flexion and rotation. These elastomeric parts are concentric and their fixation prohibits micro motion. The materials used for the implants have been tested for biocompatibility according to the ISO standard 10993.
  • Minimally invasive anterior approach which allows reduced hospital stay and improves rehabilitation
  • Tested up to 40 million cycles
  • ESP should give a significant reduction in pain severity, re-establish lumbar curvature and natural disc functions
  • ESP allows quick return to normal daily activities

Origin of The ESP Disc Replacement

Concept of a “Silent Block” ESP®

The development of the ESP disc range originally came from Professor Roy Camille, from La Pitié Salpétrière Teaching Hospital in Paris (France). After inventing the pedicle screw which became the gold standard for Spine fusions, Pr. Roy Camille started to work on analysing the natural disc properties and designed a prosthesis to restore these.

Third generation disc replacements

Both CP-ESP and LP-ESP  belong to the 3rd generation of disc replacements. Their specific mono-bloc design resulting from over a decade development allows them mimic the properties of natural discs. They provide movements in all directions without any friction and without any risks of debris production nor dislocation.

The Lumbar ESP Disc Replacement – LP-ESP

The LP-ESP cervical disc replacement has been developed to mimic the natural lumbar disc and allow the spine to behave as if the replaced disc would be natural in all situations.

  • Over 10 years of research and development
  • 10 years of follow up (since 2004)
  • 6° of freedom
  • Adaptive center of rotation
  • No surface bearing for an increased lifetime
  • Improved stability
  • shock absorbing
  • Designed to fit and restore patient lordosis

Structure of the LP-ESP® Lumbar Disc Replacement

  • Titanium endplates 
TA 6V ISO 583213 and hydroxyapatite coating
  • Inner core (Silicone nucleus)
  • Outer core (Polycarbonate urethane annulus)

The Cervical ESP Disc Replacement – CP-ESP

The CP-ESP cervical disc prosthesis has been developped to mimic the natural cervical disc and allow the spine to behave as if the replaced disc would be natural in all situations.

Specifics

  • Heights from 5mm to 7mm
  • Benefits from over 10 years of development
  • 6 degrees of freedom
  • Adaptive center of rotation
  • No surface bearing for increased lifetime
