Results for tag: "Cervical Total Disc Replacement System"

The Cervical Total Disc Replacement System (CTDR) is a type of orthopedic device used to treat degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine. It is designed to replace a damaged or diseased intervertebral disc with an artificial disc, allowing for improved range of motion and reduced pain. The device is composed of two components: a metal endplate and a polyethylene core. The endplate is secured to the vertebrae, while the core is designed to mimic the natural motion of the spine. CTDR systems are designed to provide a more natural range of motion than traditional fusion surgery, while also reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration. Additionally, the device is designed to be minimally invasive, allowing for a shorter recovery time and reduced risk of complications. The CTDR market is a rapidly growing segment of the orthopedic device industry. It is expected to continue to grow in the coming years as more patients seek out minimally invasive treatments for degenerative disc disease. Some of the major players in the CTDR market include Medtronic, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Globus Medical, and NuVasive. Show Less Read more
