Lumbar disc herniation discectomy is the most performed spinal surgery

Disc herniation is an annulus fibrosus tear and nucleus extrusion. It can result in nerve compression causing back and leg pain

DIVA: Disc herniation

A high complication rate

Disc herniation surgeries lead to high reoperation rates, in particular for reherniation at the operated level

DIVA

The implant preventing lumbar reherniation

Philosophy

  • Implant inserted within the disc after discectomy (+5 to 10 min)
  • Additional central support for the annulus to maintain disc height and avoid reherniation
  • No increase in the disc height, avoiding implant subsidence
  • Placement in the biconcavity of the disc, avoiding migrations

Indications

1

Lumbar herniation alone

2

Monosegmental herniation

3

Disc height
≥ 8 mm
