Milestone Achievement for Centinel Spine with 10,000 Cervical Procedures Using Match-the-Disc System
Centinel Spine's Match-the-Disc™ prodisc® Cervical System Reaches 10,000 Procedures
In a significant milestone for spinal health, Centinel Spine, LLC has reported the completion of over 10,000 procedures in the United States utilizing its groundbreaking Match-the-Disc™ prodisc® Cervical Total Disc Replacement (TDR) System. This achievement underscores the rapid adoption and clinical success of the new system, which officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Since its limited release, the Match-the-Disc system has seen impressive growth, resulting in a 46% increase in revenue for full-year 2024 compared to the previous year. Surgeons across the country—over 900—including many converted from competitor systems, have integrated the prodisc technology into their practices, highlighting its effectiveness and versatility in cervical spine surgery.
The speed at which the 10,000 procedures were completed is particularly noteworthy, occurring in just half the time it took to reach the 5,000-procedure milestone back in April 2024. This rapid uptake indicates a strong preference for the prodisc system among spinal surgeons, as well as a shift towards motion-preserving technologies in cervical spinal treatment.
Dr. Anton Jorgensen, an orthopedic spine surgeon affiliated with Ortho San Antonio in Texas, emphasizes the superiority of cervical disc replacement over conventional methods. In his experience, modern implants like the prodisc have rendered the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) technique less common in his practice, positioning the prodisc cervical arthroplasty as an ideal solution for many patients. “Surgeon skill and technique are crucial for a successful outcome,” he notes, urging the importance of meticulous surgical approaches.
The Match-the-Disc system consists of the prodisc C Vivo, prodisc C SK, and prodisc C Nova—each offering unique features to cater to individual patient needs. With the prodisc C Nova recently launched in October 2024, Centinel Spine continues to expand its offerings while ensuring that surgeons can select the best fitting implant based on anatomical considerations.
Centinel Spine's CEO, Steve Murray, remarked on this considerable achievement, stating that the rapid acceptance of the prodisc system signifies its value to both practitioners and patients. “The unique aspect of our system is its ability to provide implant options that align perfectly with patient anatomy,” he explains. The achievement of the 10,000th procedure not only reflects the growing comfort of surgeons with this system but also indicates a broader trend favoring motion preservation over traditional spinal fusion methods.
With more than 30 years of clinical experience and over 275,000 implantations globally, the prodisc platform is recognized as the most complete and thoroughly validated TDR technology in the world. Centinel Spine remains the only provider with FDA-approved cervical and lumbar TDR systems, capitalizing on the established prodisc CORE technology that has been pivotal for its clinical successes.
