Centinel Spine Achieves 300,000 prodisc Implantations in Total Disc Replacement Market
Centinel Spine Achieves a Landmark Milestone
In a remarkable achievement for orthopedic surgery, Centinel Spine®, a prominent player in spinal health management, has announced that it has surpassed 300,000 prodisc® Total Disc Replacement (TDR) implantations globally. This achievement underscores the effectiveness and reliability of prodisc technology, positioned as an industry leader in total disc replacement solutions. This milestone not only reflects patient trust but also represents decades of clinical validation in the field of spinal surgery.
The prodisc platform has set itself apart through extensive research and its proven track record. With a remarkable reoperation rate of less than 1%, it stands as the only TDR solution in the U.S. that has achieved FDA approval for dual-level indications, covering both cervical and lumbar surgeries. This accolade further emphasizes Centinel Spine’s unyielding commitment to enhancing patient outcomes through pioneering medical technology.
Continuous Innovation and Clinical Evidence
Centinel Spine's dedication to substantiating its products through scientific research is evident in the over 540 published peer-reviewed studies that endorse the prodisc system’s design and its durability over time. As the industry keeps advancing, Centinel Spine is at the forefront, continuously innovating to meet the evolving needs of patients and medical practitioners alike.
In October 2025, the company received significant recognition when the FDA granted approval for the prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK devices for two-level cervical surgeries. This new approval expands treatment options for patients suffering from degenerative disc diseases, solidifying Centinel Spine’s position as a primary provider in this specialized field.
Celebrating Surgical Excellence
The prodisc platform is unique for offering a variety of anatomically tailored implants, allowing surgeons to precisely match patient anatomy and clinical needs. The recent FDA approvals and innovations related to the prodisc technology showcase Centinel Spine’s focus on creating products that are not only effective but also adaptable to individual patient requirements. A notable technology under the prodisc platform is the Anatomic Endplate™, which enhances surgical precision and patient outcomes.
Dr. Michael E. Janssen, a well-respected orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal treatments, remarked on prodisc’s transformative impact on his patients over the years. He stated, "While achieving 300,000 implantations is impressive, our primary focus should remain on advancing surgical technologies to improve patient management for degenerative spinal conditions."
Similarly, Dr. Dennis Hey, from the National University Spine Institute in Singapore, expressed that the prodisc technology enhances spinal stability and mobility, reducing potential complications and ensuring longevity of surgical constructs.
