1. The patent is titled, "Artificial Intervertebral Disc with Lower Height."
2 The patent is for the Simplify Disc's low-profile and anatomically shaped disc design.
3. The Simplify Disc is intended for cervical disc replacement for patients. The disc is offered in heights as low as 4 mm.
4. The disc is composed of PEEK-on-ceramic, allowing its visibility on MRI.
5. Two U.S. pivotal trials are underway, testing the Simplify Disc's efficacy for one-level and two-level cervical fusion surgery.
