Cervical total disc replacement prosthesis, non-sterile

Cervical total disc replacement prostheses are implantable devices used to replace a damaged or degenerative intervertebral disc in the neck region, restoring spinal stability and motion. These devices are designed to mimic the natural movement of a healthy disc while supporting the vertebrae above and below the affected area, often through a sliding or articulating mechanism.

These devices are typically regulated as implantable medical devices, requiring compliance with sterilization standards before use despite being marketed in a non-sterile state. They are supplied pre-packaged for surgical use, with sterilization handled by the healthcare facility prior to implantation.
