Cervical disc prosthesis ROTAIO

ROTAIO Cervical Disc Prothesis Posterirly oriented, one-piece prosthesis design Variable centre of rotation Proven surface teeth fixation The ROTAIO® disc prosthesis was developed for the specific requirements of the cervical spine (C3 – C7). Despite the highly complex joint kinematics of ROTAIO®, the surgical implementation remains simple. ROTAIO® is implanted ‘in one piece’ using the proven Smith–Robinson technique. The prosthesis is available in various footprints and heights to enable adaptation to different patient anatomies.ROTAIO® is inserted in the C3 – C7 spinal region. As well as the simple implantation procedure, the large footprints of the disc prosthesis maximise the area of contact with the vertebral body. This helps to prevent unwanted fusion of the segment. We have retained the product features of our proven RABEA® cages in the form of the tried and tested endplate serrations. This ensures secure primary stabilisation of the segment while at the same time minimising bone resection. To reproduce the natural movement of a healthy intervertebral disc – that is the goal of ROTAIO®. This means not merely the preservation but above all the quality of movement of a natural intervertebral disc is prioritised. Along with rotation, flexion/extension and lateral bending, ROTAIO® therefore enables the option of uncoupled translation and thus of physiological facet-guided segment movement.
