activ® L

Lumbar disc prosthesis

activL® is the lumbar disc prosthesis for the motion preserving treatment of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine. The main objectives of the treatmentare fast pain reduction and the preservation/restoration of segmental function and motion. The specific design of activL® allows the protection of the adjacent level. The unique translational movement of activL® is designed to minimize biomechanical stress at the facet joints and to avoid facet joint arthrosis in a medium- and long-term prospect.

Advantages

- Unique translational movement to avoid biomechanical stress at the facet joint

- Unique translational movement for an effective protection of the adjacent disc levels

- Anterior and antero-lateral approach possible

- Specific instrumentation for the antero-lateral approach

- Design of prosthesis plates adapted to the anatomy of vertebral body endplates

- Unique PE-Material (Inlay) to reduce wear rate to 12-17% of other lumbar prosthesis types

- Specific prosthesis design treatment of L5-S1

- Plasmapore® coating for a fast and safe bony integration of the prosthesis plates to the vertebral body endplates

- Spikes and/or Keels as primary stability structures. Can be used together in any combination.

Features
