First U.S. Surgery with ZimVie 4.5mm Mobi-C Cervical Disc

ZimVie announced that the first patient in the United States has received the 4.5mm Mobi-C Cervical Disc. Introduced in France in 2004, Mobi-C became the first cervical disc approved for one and two levels by the FDA in 2013. The smaller 4.5mm height Mobi-C implants, available in seven footprints to match patient anatomy, were approved by FDA in August of this year.

Mobi-C is the first cervical disc prosthesis approved by FDA for reconstruction of a cervical disc at both one and two levels (C3-C7). Mobi-C is a cobalt chromium alloy and polyethylene mobile-bearing prosthesis that is inserted in a single step, without requiring bone chiseling or other vertebral anchorage such as screws or keels. The device is implanted using an anterior approach.
