Mobi-C Cervical Disc Replacement

Mobi-C – How it Works

Mobile Core

Mobi-C is designed to replicate the natural motion of the cervical spine.

Mobi-C’s mobile core slides and rotates inside the disc, self-adjusting to the patient’s cervical spine’s movements. This means that Mobi-C can react to the normal motion in the cervical spine.

In addition, the mobile core is designed to allow for some movement, reducing the forces between the implant and vertebral bodies. The Mobi-C does not need invasive fixation features found in some cervical disc replacement devices.

Bone Sparing

Mobi-C provides bone sparing fixation without chisel cuts into the small vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. Some competitive discs achieve their fixation via keel cuts or screw holes into the bone.

Mobi-C was designed without a keel to minimize bone removal, applicable for both one and two-level indications. Minimizing bone removal can become important in two-level applications where integrity of the bone between the discs is important.

Intact endplates, compared to endplates prepared for keels, provide a couple of benefits:

1. Preserved surface for the implant, ideal for two-level implantation.
2. Intraoperative flexibility to optimize implant positioning.

Pre-assembled Implants

Mobi-C is delivered pre-assembled on a disposable PEEK cartridge. The cartridge assembles easily to the implant inserter, saving operative steps. The PEEK Cartridge allows a radiolucent view of the implant for optimal positioning.
