Am I a candidate for Total Cervical Disc Replacement (cTDR)?

Cervical degenerative disc disease occurs when one or more of the discs between the vertebrae (the small bones that form the spinal column) begin to wear, which may cause pain, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness in the neck and arms.

If you’ve been diagnosed with or are experiencing unwanted effects of cervical disc degeneration at 1 or 2-levels, the Simplify Cervical Disc procedure might be an option for you.

Motion preserving

The unique design is intended to preserve motion that closely matches the natural, healthy spine.

Anatomically designed disc heights

Simplify Cervical Disc, features the lowest available disc heights and is designed to closely fit patients’ anatomy.

Biocompatible materials

The Simplify Cervical Disc is composed of two PEEK (medical-grade plastic) endplates and a ceramic core. There is no nickel or any metal on the articulating surfaces- it is designed for: durability, longevity, and to eliminate metal-wear.

Designed for imaging (MRI use)

The materials of the Simplify Cervical Disc allow for use of MRIs*. In addition to being surgeons’ preferred imaging method for the spine, MRI does not expose patients to radiation.

*MR Conditional per ASTM F2503

Superior results

Simplify Cervical Disc went through rigorous FDA clinical trials and the results are clear. Simplify Cervical Disc achieved the highest overall success rate of any disc replacement for 1-level and 2-level treatment.
